How to change users

[Linus]

I am multibooting Windows ME. A Chinese local language version of XP Pro, and
a International language version of XP Pro.

My old girl friend used the Chinese language OS and had her own password,
but we split and I don’t have her password. I am Administrator and can access
her files and use her OS and I have backed up her “My Documents†to a disk so
don’t worry about loosing them.

I want to set this up for my new girl friend with a new password, but I
don’t have the disks for all of the program files so it’s important that I
don’t loose any programs.

My question is: How to give new girl friend user access and a new password
to this OS without loosing any of the programs?

Just create a new user account for her from the User Accounts applet in
Control Panel. You can delete the old user account from there, too. This
has nothing to do with what programs are installed on the computer.
