i have set up a different user account in my computer, how do i transfer
information from one account to another. i have gone everywhere and am
stumped. i am after a few files from oulook and my documents and email
addresses from the address book.
we are using windows xp/ microsoft office outlook 2003.
i need to keep the information in both accounts.
has anyone any ideas, or do i just email myself all info from account to the
other, ( this would probably take hours to do") both accounts have different
email addresses.
 
The quick and easy way without having to track down all the storage
locations is to use FAST (the Files And Settings Transfer wizard)

Log into the account you wish to transfer data from and run FAST by going to
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Files And Settings Transfer
Wizard. Follow the onscreen prompts and choose that this is the old PC. Save
the settings to the local drive, log out, then log in to the account you
wish to transfer the data to. Run FAST again,but this time choose that this
is the new PC and allow FAST to import the data for you.

Note: you will have to re-enter your passwords--they are not transferred for
security reasons.
