I used the copy feature in the user's profile to copy my profile to another
name. Now the computer has two profiles with the exact same features. Then
I created a new user and password where the new user's name matches the new
profile. But I can't logon using the new profile.

What's the deal?
Did I do it wrong?
Should I of created login first then copy the profile?

You needed to create user#2 and User#3...THEN from within user#3 copy user#1
to User#2

I ended up doing it the long way but thanks anyway.
For future use, however; Can't user 3 be Administrator profile. From there,
copy profile 1 to 2.
Thanks
