| 253528 | 2004-07-19 09:39:00 | I'm running windows 2000 and have just set up my computer, I have initially set up the administrator as my main user, now I want to make another user but don't want to have to go through the long process of setting up icons, desktop settings etc . I'm happy with the way things are set up for the administrator user and would like to be able to copy over the administrator user settings to my new user . Is there any way to do this?, the new user doesn't have to have administrator rights . Many thanks |

| 253531 | 2004-07-19 10:55:00 | not sure about 2k but when I setup new xp client workstations on the our network, I just copy the contents of the user folder ( that was used to setup the pc) into "default user" (which is a hidden system directory in documents and settings) then every new user gets those settings. Our users are volitile, deleted on log off and recreated on logon. |
