New user - access to games and files

N

Namrod

I have set up my husband as a new user as he is going to
use this for business. However, he wants access to his
information that was in the joint user. e.g. His golf
games. When we open it under his user account there is
not stats. When we open it under the joint user all of
his stats are there. How do we transfer these over.
Also, he wants the Hoyle Board Games in his user acct.the
short cut is in the joint user, but we can not get a
short cut into his user account. Any suggestions.

The data files from the games are probably saved under the main
account's profile. To find the files, log in to the main account.
Right click the Start button and select Explore. Go to Tools, Options,
View tab, and select Show Hidden Files and Folders. Click Apply, then
OK. Then look for a folder called Application Data. There should be a
folder for each game under that folder (it might be grouped under
Microsoft, if the games are MS games). Copy the folders into the same
place under your husband's new account profile (usually C:\Documents and
Settings\%userprofile%\). When he starts the game from his profile, the
data should be there.
