The easiest way is to create another profile and copy the data to the
new profile:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=811151

Once you are sure data is safe, you can safely delete the old profile.

Create a new user account. If you want the duplicate of the current user =
profile [with a different user name], try this:

1) Create a new account with your preferred name
2) Logon to that account to create and initialize the profile
3) Logon to an admin account that isn't the account being copied to or =
from
4) Open the System control panel
5) Click the Advanced tab
6) Click Settings under User Profiles
7) Select a profile to copy from
8) Click Copy To
9) Type or browse to the profile to copy to (C:\Documents and =
Settings\user)

The Outlook Express mails, favorites are carried over to the new account =
and the settings are not lost.
