We hired a new secretary, who replaced a retiring
secretary. The new secretary wanted to keep the desktop
of the old secretary, because it had all of the icons,
shortcuts, etc. already set up on the windows 2000
professional workstation. However, when the new secretary
logs on to the network, she gets her own desktop, and it
will be time consuming to create the shortcuts manually.
Does anyone know how to copy one user's desktop from a
workstation to a new user on that same desktop?
 
copy "C:\documents and settings\OldSecretary\desktop\*.*" "C:\documents and
settings\NewSecretary\desktop"

The "C:\documents and settings" is the typical path to users' profiles, but
it's not necessarily that. If you upgraded from NT, it'd be
%windir%\profiles. If you installed your OS on a different drive, it'd be
on that drive. Etc.
