In Win XP Pro, I have always used the built-in Administrator user account. I have all of my settings, software, etc. set the way I want them. I want to replicate my exact setup in a new user account. Is there a way to do this without having to set up everything from scratch?Windows XP ProUser Accounts1 person got this answerI do too

Thank you. Your advice was very helpful. I was able to create a new User Account and copy the settings/profile from the Administrator User Account. That took care of about 60% of "matching" my Administrator User Account. Outlook, desktop, display, IE and a couple of other programs required that I go in to each one and set things the way I want them. So, I spent the rest of my day doing that. Now, I'm about 99% "matched" in my new User Account. I appreciate your assistance.
