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: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/...ofile_copy.mspx John junglejim wrote: > 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? |

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. peter -- "Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others."
