I wish to move all my information from an "Administrative" to a "Limted"
account. When I define and then enter a "Limited" account, the account is
empty. How do I copy it?

Just go in and change your account to "limited"...
If you have administrative rights - you can do this.

Then reboot.

*warning* - some things may break when you lose your rights.

Otherwise - you create the new account and use these instructions to copy
stuff to the new account.

I have followed the instructions in:

http://windowsxp.mvps.org/dupprofile.htm

In fact I have done it 6 or 7 times, most with a different variation on how
I make the target User Account. Each time it doesn't work. How do I make
it work?
