Hello!
At first create a new user profile:-
Log in as Administrator > start >control panel >user
accounts> Advanced tab > Advanced >in the left pane, click
users folder >on the Action menu click new user.> After
entering user information > click create.
-------------------------------------------
Next Copy Files To The New User Profile
-------------------------------------------

Log on as a user other than the user whose profile you are
copying files to or from >
Next Locate the C:\Documents and Settings\Old_Username
folder, where C is the drive on which Windows XP is
installed, and Old_Username is the name of the profile you
want to copy user data from.
Press and hold down the CTRL key while you click each file
and subfolder in this folder, except the following files:
Ntuser.dat
Ntuser.dat.log
Ntuser.ini
On the Edit menu, click Copy.
Locate the C:\Documents and Settings\New_Username folder,
where C is the drive on which Windows XP is installed, and
New_Username is the name of the user profile that you
created in the "Create a New User Profile" section.
On the Edit menu, click Paste.
Log off the computer, and then log on as the new user.
