Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>general (more info?)

I've seen answers to problems that are similar to mine, but nothing
quite the same. I have a client with 3 users that currently log into a
Domain, but all 3 use the admin username and password (this was setup
long before I got to the scene.) I am now going to setup their domain
properly, with each of them having a real username and password all of
their own. This is going to cause problems because their computers
currently have their profiles stored in the administrator folder under
Documents and Settings, and their new login information will have them
under a different folder. How can I transfer all of their profile
settings properly (I know simply copying and pasting from the admin
folder to their new folder won't work)? Not just documents, but
desktop settings, folder preferences, favorites, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Couldn't you use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard to accomplish
this? It says you can save files and settings to a folder on any drive,
so I would think you could move them from one folder to another on the
same drive. You would have to log on as 'Administrator' and take
ownership of the old user account folders.
