Export User's Info

[FZWG]

Trying to help someone who established a User with password and his own Desktop. They want to remove the User, and have everybody use the same Desktop. The OS=WMe.

Is there a way to export the User's eMail addresses, Favorites, Documents and Programs to the Desktop that is accessed by all before removing the User?

Thanks for the help.

how many user accounts on the computer if its just one then change the password to a blank one and have windows boot directley to the desk top

If it is only one user, than try this:

Go to Start - Settings - Control Panel - Network

Then where it says Primary Network Logon scroll down to the option Windows Logon.

Now there will be no users. It just automatically goes to the desktop.

Thanks for the replies.

There is a Desktop that everyone uses, and then there is one User with his Desktop. Need to go to Start>Log on (name) or Log off (name) and enter a password to access that Desktop.

If one tries either of your suggestions, does that mean that the User's Favorites, Address Book, and Documents will be 'merged' with whatever is on the normal Desktop, or is will these things be lost?

ok open address book (not outlook express but address book only) then select file export and chose a .wab format to export to and save the file to a floppy the my doc folder will nead to be backed up with out any password and the favorites
folder can all so be backed up by copying it then remove the account

OK!!

Thanks for the info. ;-)

Will get rid of User after backing up as suggested.

[FZWG]

Ooops...

On: '...the my doc folder will need to be backed up with out any password'

Will you explain this a little further?

[andyms18a]

from the user account you want to remove change the password to a blank one so thair is no login password then save the my doc folder

[FZWG]

OK, get what you are saying.

Thanks again.
