Adminstrator and new users under windows xp

[Theo]

Hello again:
Sorry about the first few blank e-mails, i do have a
problem though.
Well i read the whole thing about administrator's login
being disabled unless login in safe mode. but i went a
couple of months without creating another account and a
lot of my settings and programs are saved under
administrator settings. I thought i had deleted it be
mistake and tried to correct my error by copying and
paste everything in the adminstrator folder into my new
user folder; however, i was suprised to find that when i
started the programs i copied and pasted they started as
if i was using them for the first time.

for example: i had aol instant messenger and a bunch
others in the adminstrator's programs list and it copied
and pasted the entire contents of adminstrator over
perfectly; but, when i ran Aim it started up and had me
re-sign my name and password in when i used to have it
set to automatically sign me in.

i would like to know if there is any way i can bring all
those settings and cookies or whatever they are over to
my new user account.
thank you for your time

Hi Theo,

No, that's the way real user profiles work with a lot of software. You =
can copy the files and settings over to the profile of choice, but you =
will find that some programs will need to be reinstalled or =
reinitialized under that profile.
