Copy Admin Account to Standard Account

Vista Home Premium.

I would like to copy all of the settings from my Admin User Account to a
Standard User Account. How do I do that?

When creating a new account create two new admin accounts. It's always good
to have two admin accounts in case one gets corrupted.

Re: Copy Admin Account to Standard Account

I tried it and as a result I lost my internet connection and after screwing
around for 4 hours I finally got it back.
I was trying to do the "right thing" by using a Standard Account instead of
an Admin Account. I should have followed my own advice..."If it ain't broken
don't fix it".
