Merging multiple user interfaces

[T]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)

I have windows XP Pro. I had it at home 1) before I had
xp, 2) at school on the domain/networked aspect of XP,
and now 3) at home in the home interace.

I therfore have 3 identities on the computer, all with
their separate my documents, preferences, IE favorites,
etc.

I would like to merge them somehow without having to move
all of these files. I don't remember the preferences I
had, and the computer i know is the one I had networked
for 4 yrs. How do I recover all of that without having to
go out and in of "documents and settings" ? Thanks

1. You cannot merge the settings of user profiles. You can only
overwrite the settings of one profile with those of another one: "How
to Copy User Data to a New User Profile"
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=811151).
2. To merge the data like FAVORITES and MY DOCUMENTS use the Windows
Explorer to move the files to the user folders of the profile that you
want to keep under C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS.
