Multiple User Accounts

[Sharon Gordon]

Hi! I am using XP Home and have multiple user accounts
setup on the computer. Using one particular user account
I have customized all sorts of things from folder options
to how the Start menu is setup to shortcuts on the
desktop, etc. Is there any way to transfer these
customizations easily to the other user accounts? Would
copying a user profile somehow help?

Any tips for doing this would be great, and/or pointing me
to a knowlege base article would be cool too.

Many thanks!
Sharon

Thanks for your replies!

It's interesting...Knowledge Base Article 811151 mentions
an Advanced tab on the User Accounts control panel for XP
Home. I don't see it.

No big deal though, I got it to work to my satisfaction.

Thanks!

Hi Sharon,

For the Advanced Tab: Go to Start/Run and type in:
control userpasswords2

Or:

Add ControlUserPasswords2 To Control Panel (Line 1)
