Copy user profile
I'm having trouble copying my profile to a new user. I
get as far as "copy to" and it's asking for the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path to the target user's profile. What is this path? I tried c:\documents and settings\newusername and it froze (not responding). If I am successful, will it copy all programs, such as Word, excel and also the quick launch toolbar?

What is FAST?
My computer is a stand-alone laptop - no network. So what's my server name? Thanks. Sammy -----Original Message----- Sammy wrote: I'm having trouble copying my profile to a new user.
