Default Windows XP Pro: How to combine user accounts

assuming that you own both the accounts, it could be easy.

make sure that one of the accounts has administrator privileges and this
should be the surviving account...go to document and settings folder, find
the other account folder...and then copy the contents of the following
folders: desktop, favorites, account owner's documents and all other
folders you have created to the corresponding folders in your account under
the documents and settings folder.

make sure you DO NOT over write any file as the over written file may just
disappear forever.

don't erase the "forsaken" account yet...let is stay for a month or two
until you are sure that everything you need has been copied to your
preffered account.

hope that helps a bit.
