If you are logged on with Admin privileges, go to

C:\ -> Documents and Settings -> there you will see a list of the user
accounts -> My Documents; Copy/Cut & Paste files from one account to
another

Also C:\ -> Documents and Settings -> [user account] -> Loacal
Settings -> Application Data -> Microsoft -> Outlook, for *.pst file
of emails, contacts etc if you're using Outlook

Also C:\ -> Documents and Settings -> [user account] -> Loacal
Settings -> Application Data -> Identities -> [number] -> Microsoft ->
Outlook Express for emails if you're using OE

NOTE: Use these 2 above to import into your new account - don't
copy/paste them, it doesn't always work.

Also C:\ -> Documents and Settings -> [user account] -> Application
Data -> Microsoft -> Address Book for your *.wab OE address book (copy
and paste this one OK)

And if you have any files stored on your Desktop, C:\ -> Documents and
Settings -> [user account] -> Desktop (copy & paste)

Log on as Administrator in order to gain access to
all profiles, then move the downloaded files from the
family profile to your own profile. All profiles are kept
in c:\Documents and Settings.
 
Hi,

Log into the family account, open Windows Explorer. Move them to the "Shared
Documents" folder set. This will make the files accessible to all users of
the system.
