Hi! I am using XP Home and have multiple user accounts
setup on the computer. Using one particular user account
I have customized all sorts of things from folder options
to how the Start menu is setup to shortcuts on the
desktop, etc. Is there any way to transfer these
customizations easily to the other user accounts? Would
copying a user profile somehow help?

Any tips for doing this would be great, and/or pointing me
to a knowlege base article would be cool too.

Many thanks!
Sharon

Go to start, control panel, system, advanced, user
profiles and copy the user. This will work there is a few
other ways but that is a good start for doing it.
