User account problem

I have added a user, initially with limited capabilities.
Ran VB program and got errors under limited user account.
Upgraded that user to Administrator. No change.
Looked for differences. Found original Admin User has
many more registry entries than new user account.
How can I get them the same? Do I want them the same? Is
it dangerous to copy the HKEY Current User from one
account to the other? Also is it possible to do this
without messing up the system?
Maybe the real question is how to I get everything that
ran under original Admin user account to run the same
under 2nd account?
Thanks in advance.

Best to reinstall the application. The install program should create all the
required branches.

If the crucial difference is a particular key or branch under HKCU hive then
you can export that branch to a .reg file. Login as the new user and import
in the entries.
