Is it possible to move one users settings to another user account on the same machine?
I have one user called PC and want to move all of the settings that user had to the new user on this machine.
The settings I want to move is everything from the desktop folders, taskbar, through to SQL Server and Visual Studio settings, and drop box etc.
The reason for the username change is to move from PC to my name.
Thank you for your answer. I am currently in the customize location for the user and see there is an advanced option. How much should I select to copy across? There is options for literally every single folder in the machine. Should I select that? – WillNZ – 2014-02-27T22:56:12.857
1Just choose your username and nothing else. Only if it's the same pc – Canadian Luke – 2014-02-28T00:52:19.893
@CanadianLuke has the right idea. Just to minimize everything. But you'll do want the user settings that pick up your browser(s) favorites and any app settings picked up from the registry. Otherwise, the tool will offer to copy even the directories on the external drive used as the copy destination. – jdh – 2014-02-28T02:34:30.577
