OK, for years I've been running XP on our home computer from the default
administrator icon without setting up passwords etc. on the administrator
acct. (also leaving myself vulnerable to attacks ).

So now I've set up new user accounts for my son and I, leaving intact the
original account I've always used set to administrator ( and all of the
folders that I've created within it ).

My two new accounts are starting tabula rasa and I want to bring all of the
documents, *.wab files, email saved messages & my MSIE favorites over from
the old administrator account to my own "new" user profile account.

How do I import these things from the administrator account so that I can
access them in my newly created separate user account? Do I simply back them
up to CDs and copy these folders and files in my new user account, or can I
import the OE address book and email & OE settings etc.?

Thanks in advance

Barry
