I've got a WinXP computer that has only one profile - the Administrator profile.

I want to create a duplicate profile, with the same file settings, bookmarks, etc -
everything - so that I can then make that profile into a User.

How can I do this?

Thanks,

Vic

You'll need to create a second admin account, log in with that account,
then copy the contents of the Administrator profile to the Default User
profile. You can then log back on with the normal Administrator
account and delete the previously created admin account and profile.
