XP Profile/Settings

[Jeff]

Hi,

Log on to the network or local laptop as a user with
administrative rights. Change your view to show all files
and not to hide protected operating system files. Copy
the entire contents of the old c:\Documents...\John to the
new c:\Documents...\John. Log back in as the new John and
all should be well.

Good luck,

Jeff
