If i create two administrator accounts in xp, is there a way to import on user account
setting to the other. Such that the desktop, the start menu,
quick launch system tray would be the same.
-Yeah, you can do that easily. If you go to System Properties -> Advanced ->
User Profiles Settings, you can copy one profile to another. It will take
your start menu, and desktop, Quicklaunch, and other settings with it. It
will also take your My Documents folder.
Remember that when you copy a user account, both the account you are moving
and the destination account have to be logged off. That means you will need to
execute the copy operation from a third account.
Also, don't delete your old user account until you make sure your new one works like
it should and has all your documents.<<
Here are a few MSKB articles related to creating/changing user accts. Hope you can
find an answer for your situation...
