    Hi everyone

    My problem is that I have created a New User Account for myself and all the programs (in the NEW Account) are not setup as I had them before. I would like to copy some of the profiles ( personal settings ) from the Old account over to the New account I am now using. ( Mainly Internet Exp. Ver 6.0.26 , Outlook Exp. Ver 6.00.26 , My messenger settings for msn & yahoo).

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanx, Daggs.

    1. Open System in Control Panel.
    2. On the Advanced tab, under User Profiles, click Settings.
    3. Under Profiles stored on this computer, click the user profile you want to copy, and then click Copy To.
    4. Type the location for the new profile, or click Browse to select the path.
    5. To choose a new user, in the Copy To dialog box, click Change.
    6. To start your search, in the Select User or Group dialog box, type the complete name of the user, group, or built-in security principle you are looking for, and then click OK.


    Further information is in MS KB article, How to Copy User Data to a New User Profile.
