Default Computer Krew v.File Transfer

Hi all. My brother is getting rid of the desktop pc in his room and wants to transfer all of his music/pics/docs over to his laptop. Is there an easier (and free) way of transferring all the files without having to burn a ton of CD's with all of the files? Something like hooking the computers together and transferring the files. Thanks

Um, you could try a P2P program like this:

But, it's best to hook it up on the network as that will be the simplest way.
