A friend of mine who has a laptop running XP Pro wanted to create a new
profile to log on to a domain (but she wanted to retain her desktop,
bookmarks, etc.). So I created a new profile, deleted everything in it,
then copied everything from the older profile in it.
A few days later, I realized I may have done this incorrectly (even
though she hasn't been experiencing any problems. According to "How to
copy data from a corrupted user profile to a new profile" at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811151 , three files (Ntuser.dat,
Ntuser.dat.log, and Ntuser.ini) are *not* to be copied. Why is this and
what is the potential harm in copying them like I did?
