I was using the built-in administrator ("Administrator")
and then created another administrator ("Peter") simply
because I wanted my name displayed. Now
the "Administrator" is gone from the User Accts along
with all the settings for all my programs (AIM, Outlook
Express, etc). How do I retrieve them and set them
into "Peter"? Thanks.

Hi Peter,

At the logon screen, hit ctrl+alt+delete twice to access the old style =
logon screen. From here you can enter the Administrator name and =
password. Once in, copy the settings to your "Peter" profile under =
C:\Documents and Settings. You may find however, that some of the =
programs will need to be reinstalled while logged on as "Peter".
