How to move settings from a domain account to a workgroup ..

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

Hello
How to move settings from my former domain account to my new workgroup
account? I changed participation of my computer from a domain to a workgroup
and I cannot login using my domain account any more to transfer settings. The
Documents and settings folder contains my domain account folder.

Thanks for your reply.
It will ask me if I want to replace the existing contents. If I replace I
can lose some existing useful settings. How to prevent losing existing
setting of contents?

Local profiles in the system properties>advanced>user profiles. Which to
choose?
The "Copy to" commant is not available for the "Account Unknown" profiles.
There is not a domain
