I tried various online tutorials but nothing seemed to give me this easily, when I had a brainwave!. If you enter the standard windows PE environment and start TWO instances of notepad, then on both open the File > Open dialogues. On the first browse to the USB Stick and on the second browse to (say) user folder and find the "My Documents" folder > now drag the "My Documents" folder and drop it into the USB dialogue browser. You can also use copy and paste. Hope that this helps others I was keen to use Windows PE as a disaster recovery environment, wher if a clients PC refused to work I could boot off the PE boot disk and then rescue all his files within say My Documents and put them on a USB stick.
