new domain, created new profile, how to import old user?

[Peter Clark]

to change the users profile folder -> logon as a
completely different user -> start -> run -> regedit ->
goto hklm\software\microsoft\windows
nt\currentversion\profilelist\s-1-5-21-%machinesid%-%
userno% where the profileimagepath subkey equals the old
username -> modify the key so that the profileimagepath
equals the new path.

the ms way:

us;811151
(which probably breaks efs, if efs keys are not exported -
usernumber is different)
