I set up a friend's user account on her new Thinkpad laboriously, customizing programs, menu layouts, themes, etc etc etc. A lot of work. Now when I took her laptop to the college network I realized that I could not get this account to connect to the college domain, which gives access to network drives and email. The account I setup is under the domain of "Workgroup" and I cannot figure out how to change the domain to "College.edu". The only way I can get her on the network is to setup a new account, which of course doesn't have all the customizations I made for her. Is there a way either to transfer ALL user information to another account or to change the domain of an existing account?

Thanks.

That's something I've wanted to know too - I find myself making the same changes for new user accounts over and over. For example, turning off personalized menus, disabling the "hide infrequently used tray icons" or whatever, etc, etc.
