I want to install a new user and I want the user to have the same settings, desktop icons and favourites as my own account. How can I do this?

You can do this a couple of different ways. First you can turn on roaming profiles if you're on a 2000 or NT server. Go into AD users and computers (win2k...user manager for domains on NT) on the profiles tab and put in a directory on the server. Then the user would have the same profile no matter which computer he logged in to. But the easiest solution would probably be just to copy c:\documents and settings\old user to c:\documents and settings\new user. Hope this helps.
