Hi,

I want to create another user on my XP system that is an exact
copy of the original but with a different username. This account
must have all the same rights, same access to installed software,
email accounts, everything. The *only* difference is that I want
the 2nd account to have a different login name, different "user's
docs" name and different "C:\Documents and Settings\user" folder
name.

So, say the original is:
C:\Documents and Settings\user1

and the copy is:
C:\Documents and Settings\user2

...both accounts must behave in identical fashion apart from that.

Is this possible and if so how (without a full reconfig of
installed software)?

Thanks for any help.
Mike.

Click to expand...

Create the new user and logon. Logoff all users and logon as the
Administrator. In the Control Panel > System > Advanced > User profies
Settings you can now copy the profile from user1 to user2.
Click to expand...
Note: this will not link the profiles: changes that you make
afterwards in one profile will not be taken over in the other profile.
