How to copy existing user account to a new account, keeping all customizations?

[G-A]

Hello,

I need to make a limited user account for my daughter and
I would like to enforce a number of customizations that
I made for my own accounts. Whenever possible, I'd rather
avoid going throught many tweaks all over again. There must
be a simple way of just taking all existing settings and
applying them to a new account but I can't seem to find it.

Every time I create new account, it comes up with ridiculous
Luna interface, annoying autoplays, default folder options, ect.

This is XP Pro SP2.

Thank you.

Jon

in order to do this you need to create 2 accounts.....hers and one other
call it B
You then restart and sign in as B
right click MyComputer/properties/advanced
user profiles/settings
here you will see all of the users
highlight your user account and then click copy to
on the next section navigate to C:\documents&settings\her account
and click OK
ok you way out..................this copies all of your settings to her
account.
restart and sign in as her and make sure it worked.
you can then delete that B account.
