Trying to copy my Documents Folder from C-drive to E-drive and get Error

it?
Using XP.
That is the user portion of the registry. Since your registry for your
account is inuse while you are logged in, you cannot copy that file. You
need to logon under Account #1 to copy Account #2's profile into Account
#3's profile. That is, you need an arbitration account to copy accounts
atop each other and where the arbitration account is not of those you are
copying. You don't copy any of the arbitration account's files. You copy
the files for the account(s) under which you are NOT logged in. You could
use, for example, the Administrator account to copy your account's profile
(My Documents is a path under %userprofile%).
