Stupid Computer!

[Tomm]

Ok, so I decided to create another account on my computer. That's fine. I was ADMINISTRATOR, now I'm Tom (Computer administrator). But that means that stupid windows has basically created a new account for me. My theme is different, my documents are in a different place, some programs aren't on the start menu, all my bookmarks are gone etc. Even my display drivers aren't installed properly on this account (Y)

In short really f**king annoying. So I need to either get the old (ADMINISTRATOR) account back, or some how import all the settings. Can anyone help?

Log back onto Administrator. Go onto the Start Menu, then right click My Computer.

Click 'Manage' > Click 'Local Users And Groups' on the left hand side > Double click 'Users' on the right window box > Delete the account called 'Tom' > Right click 'Administrator' > Click 'Rename' and when the box comes up, type in Tom....

...et voila!

Edit: I think that's what you wanted anyway?

You are a star. Thank you (Y)

Danny, what's wrong with using the administrator account? I've been using it for ages. And if it's so bad, how do I transfer all my settings across to a new account?
