I have a XP PRO setup. I have been running it as The Administrator.
Now I want to make some changes so that I have different users with
different desktops for different jobs. I intend to use Fast User
Switching to go from one setup to another. Creating the new users was
no problem.However, I wanted to be able to Fast switch from these new
users back to the Administrator account I already have, with its's
profile, programs, settings etc allready setup in place.
Of course, Windows won't let me do this. THE Administrator account
does not appear in Fast User Switch so I had to create another user
account but with Administrative privileges in order for Windows to
show such an account in the User Fast Switch. So now I have THE
Administrators account with all my settings. I have two new basic
users with desktops and profiles setup for particular jobs, and I
have a new user account = admin with administrative privileges that
does appear in Fast User Switch.
I do not want to spend all the time it would take to setup the new
admin account as a clone of THE Administrator account. I just want to
copy the profile stuff over but it seems that windows won't allow me
to do this from System Properties\Advanced Tab\Settings
button\Administrator\Copy to button
The Administrator account the <copy To> button, and the Delete button
are greyed out. Is there any way to accomplish a copying of the
Administrators profile to another user with administrative privileges
account. Thanks
