Copy one User Account into Another Account in your Windows System

Hi friends,hope everyone fine!As i said already in my yesterday post i want to present a series of Pc / Laptop tricks,ie)atleast one per day along with other Topic posts.

Have you ever faced this problem ?
unable to
access certain files, ...unable to
Right Click,unable to install new programs,or unable to see
certain applications or utilities?
Once you have
eliminated any type of
malicious infection, the next
thing may be you have to
create another User Account right?

how do you transfer all the files from
old account to the new
account?

This may sounds big but its relatively easy
process. Follow these steps
and you should have no
problem: -

- Open Control Panel and click
on *User Accounts*

- Click on Create a new
account - Label this User Account
anything you want

- Set the access for this User
Account and then click +Create
Account+

- Once you get back to the
main screen, repeat the
process. This time, you are
going to create a dummy
account. You will delete it
once this process is complete.

- Close the Control Panel

- Restart the computer

- When you get to the Log

-In
screen, log into the User
Account that you
created...not the dummy
account

- When the computer restarts
Right Click on My Computer and click +Properties+

- Click on the Advanced tab

- Within the User Profiles section, click +Settings+

- Within this section, you can
copy all the data from one
account to another. Highlight
the original User Account, the
one that was causing
problems, and click +Copy To+

- A browse window will open
and navigate to the User
Account you are currently
using. (C:/Documents and
Settings/User Account)

- Once you click OK, you will
get a disclaimer message
telling you that files are about
to be copied. Once the process
starts, *do not do anything
until it is complete*. The larger the original account, the
longer it will take to complete
the copy.

- Once the copy is complete,
you will be able to click OK
twice to close the windows

- Open Control Panel again and
click on *User Accounts*

- Delete both the original User
Account and the dummy
account.

I know this seems to involve a lot of
steps but,it will
save you a lot of time,
and potentially money,
reinstalling Windows!
