transfer user data from one account to another

[Jason M.]

Does anyone know if there is a way to move an existing
user's Documents and settings to a new user's doc & set
on the same computer?

The scenario is I have a W2K server in my house that I
have rebuilt into W2K3 SBS server I built the new server
with a different domain name. I have a XP machine that
was joined to the old domain. I joined it to the new
domain and lost all me settings. I would rather not
recreate everything printer, email settings the whole
nine yards. Is there a way?

Someone please answer this, I'm going through a smilar
situation. I've found a way, but I would like to hear
the "Pros" way.

Thanks
