Copying profiles.

Hi

How do I copy the Windows XP profile of a logged in user to the default
user profile without logging out and logging in as someone else?

Windows 2000 did it, can you do it with XP and if so how?

Cheers

You can't. You have to login as an admin user other than the one you
want to copy from.

That won't work. You can't copy the user profile of an active user.
