Default profile confusion..

Hello,
Can anyone advise me on how to copy profile settings, data, etc. from one XP Pro profile to another(same pc). Profile #1 is a roaming, domain level profile in which I have my email data, etc. I'd like to eliminate this profile as I'm no longer roaming / o
n domain. Profile #2 is a workstation level profile which is the primary profile I would like to use. Problem is, when i'm in #2, I can't see any of my emails that are contained in outlook in profile #1 and all the settings are different. Is there a way to
transfer / copy the settings from #1 to #2?
Sorry if this is a basic question - am new to XP and would appreciate any assistance from the group.
Thanks very much.
