Administrator and user accounts

[=?iso-8859-1?Q?M=A1chael_Kn=A1ght?=]

I got my computer about two years ago. I was a complete
novice back then (except for knowing how to type, e-mail,
basic stuff).

At the time, I only used the administrator account to use
my computer. Therefore, two years later, here I am and I
find out that I should never go online or use the computer
under administrator unless I am adding new programs,
deleting files, etc. (administrator tasks).

I made a new user just to use my computer/go online/casual
use, but that doesn't have my .jpeg files, music files,
etc. The new user account has nothing, as if I just
started out from the beginning! It's asking me to
configure my mouse again, it doesn't have any of my files,
etc. (I hope people know what I am talking about here!)

Question: how do I use my computer under a new user name
but that has all the things/files that the administrator
account has? I know this may sound like a stupid question,
but I really don't know how to do this in one easy step.

Thank you in advance to anyone who replies.

When creating the new administrator-user, put it into the
administrator's group. Next, in System Properties under
User Profiles, copy the existing profile for administrator
to the name of the new (administrator)-user. The profile
should have been duplicated.
