New User, Identical Profile

I want to add a new user that will have the exact same configurations as I
currently have. Then I will delete my login and give the computer to a
friend (after making the new user the default).

My question is this. Is there any fast way to create a new user identical
to mine? Basically an identical profile!

The slow way of doing is to just do all the customizing myself.
Thanks

In search box enter:-

copy user profile
 
Yeah, I saw that already. But that seems to just copy your profile to an
separate safe place on your harddrive.
Actually create a new profile identical to what I have, then delete the one
the current profile so that the new one is the default (all same settings).

In effect, I want to simply Change the name of the existing profile.

First create the new user with new name, e.g. JoeBlow

Then, when following Help and Support instructions, where it asks you
to select a location to which to copy the profile, browse to:-

C:\Documents and Settings\JoeBlow

and get it to copy to there.
