XP Pro: How to Clone/ Share Administrator or other User Settings?

[Clark]

OS: XP Pro

Need to copy my current settings as ADMINISTRATOR to another username in a
Power User Group.

Basic problem is this - have tweaked desktop, programs, settings under username
Administrator, but for security need to switch to another username I created -
but want same desktop and settings I've created as Administrator. Tried adding
a username to the Administrators group, but logon with this username gave
default XP settings. Also played with Adding User in permissions for
Administrator's "My Documents" (right-click icon > properties > security tab) -
no good, as I suspected.

Any help appreciated.

More info: running a home LAN with 2 computers on XP-Pro and 2 using 98SE. LAN
access and local logon are two separate issues, but from what I can tell Group
Policy settings won't work on the 98 machines - is this correct?

Checked out setting a Group Policy for user logon on main machine since it
seemed a way to solve the settings problem as far as logging on to the main
machine, but didn't get far. Is Group Policy the way to go here?

thanks to anyone who can help out,
