Create a new user account. If you want the duplicate of the current user profile [with a different user name], try this:
1) Create a new account with your preferred name
2) Logon to that account to create and initialize the profile
3) Logon to an admin account that isn't the account being copied to or from
4) Open the System control panel
5) Click the Advanced tab
6) Click Settings under User Profiles
7) Select a profile to copy from
8) Click Copy To
9) Type or browse to the profile to copy to (C:\Documents and Settings\user)
The Outlook Express mails, favorites are carried over to the new account and the settings are not lost.
