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
