XPPro SP2 standalone..
.. for the purpose of creating a power user account to browse securely as MS
Help suggests.
Question was how to do that with my settings from original administrator
account.
For example, there remains a huge documents file with "administrator" and my
new "poweruser" is (as you say) a "bare" account (nothing in it). Therefore
all settings and configurations (start, quickstart, email, desktop, etc) have
to be reconfigured. Am I missing something that should be obvious or is this
that compex after all (meaning all the previous settings are not easily
transferred)?
..thanx for your persistence.
