Get rid of user profiles but keep settings, win98?

catquas · 11-19-2005, 02:10 PM

I have different user profiles enabled with windows networking and I want to get rid of them. The problem is I want to keep the settings from a specific user profile. If I get rid of user profiles which settings will I be left with?

Another option would be to automatically log in to my prefered profile, so I can skip the windows networking dialogue at startup. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks in advance

Based on what you said I tried switching, but I didn't end up with the administrator settings. I ended up with the settings you get when you click cancel on the login screen. I don't know if that has a profile folder you can copy your old profile folder to or not.
