Migrating themes, etc. between accounts?
Hi all. I hope this is the correct forum to be posting this. If not, I apologize.
Background: I recently did a clean install of 7 Home Premium x64. The only account I created was an admin account, IF I created the account at all. It may be the default admin account. I don't remember.
I don't know that it's "THE" admin account such as is discussed in this thread, but that probably (?) doesn't matter. It's indeed "AN" admin account, and the only account that was on the machine (except for guest) until today.
Now I've created a standard account, for security's sake. That's what I want for everyday use. Is there a way to bring over my theme, desktop icons, personalizations, and so on over to my new standard account from my admin account? I saw "change my environment variables" under user accounts in control panels, but I'm afraid to click on any of those options and try one without asking. Plus, under "configure advanced user profile properties," it only gives my admin account of course, and it doesn't give me any options as to what to DO with that account/profile, even when logged on as the admin.
Or should I just change this new standard account to the admin account, and what's as of this writing, the admin account the standard account? I'd rather not do that in case of any problems in may cause, but if you tell me that migrating between profiles as I described above can't be done, or at least not easily done, that's what I'll do.
Many thanks in advance.
