In setting XP with multiple users, I would set up one account they way I
liked it and then went into the user profile dialog and copy the one account
over top the remaining accounts. However, in Vista home premium, the
accounts are not listed with the exception of the one I am on. Is there a
way to copy one profile over several in Home Premium? Thanks

In regards to the above, I was able to create the main account and set all
the preferences the way I like, then create the other user accounts and copy
over through an advanced profiles dialog. I created a seperate temporary
account and copied my main account to the 2 others. I did this with UAC on.
Now, when I try to click on a user that was copied to, it states welcome as
it tries to log on, then states logging off and goes back to the welcome
screen. It does this for each of the two accounts created. However, if I
turn UAC off, they log in just fine. I would like to keep UAC on, how can I
get past this without building each account from scratch? Thanks
