Default how do I copy user profiles from 1 setup to another


New to XP (on new computer) and have four users. I've set up ISP info, call
manager info, etc. How can I copy this info to the other users without going
through all the individual set-ups?

Check the (XP) help files for "user profile" it will guide yoou through
it. Or see here:

set up all 4 user accounts including that "setup" account.
Log on as user #1 and go to
Mycomputer/properties/advanced/
User Profiles/settings
highlight the "setup" user and click copy to.....in the next window browse
to C:\documents&settings\user#2 click ok and ok your way out.
This copies all of "setup" user to user #2.......You can do this with every
user just make sure that you are always logged on as a different user than
you are copying from or to.
Test after each change/copy to make sure it took and works..........with XP
you never know.
