New User Accounts

[Guest]

Hi.I have only one account on my PC at the moment.It is classed as an
"administrator" account.I want to add 3 x accounts and take mine off.2 x for
children (limited) and 1 x new adult (administrator priviledges).I want to
copy all the data,files etc from my account over to all the new accounts.How
do I do this.I can creat the accounts ok,but they are missing most of the
files,programs etc that I have.

you have to copy all of the files and folders from the administrator account
to the new accounts. go to Settings and Documents/administrator and copy all
of the folders and deposit to the new user account.

If you want all of your files to be in all of the new users accounts as well,
you can either copy the files from your account "My Document" into their "My
Documents" folder. Or into the All Users profile which will give everybody
all of the files.

These are located at C:\Documents and Settings\username\username's Documents

All installed programs should be available to all users unless specified to
not make available to all users during the programs installation.

Note that you will need to log into the new account at least once before
you can copy anything to it.
