How do I change a user's account to be part of a domain? I did the wizard
but it create a new account. What I want to do is take laptop upgraded to XP
Pro from XP Home and logon to our domain. At the same time keep that users
desktop and My docs.Basicly I don't want the user to see an differnence in
his machin except now he has to CTL+ATL+DEL to logon and have access to the
domain. Any idea how?

You can copy the current user profile to the new user profile using the
steps in this article, except you will be copying to the new account profile
rather than default user.
