What is the best way to take over all files permissions/directories/files from a previous user, while using a new username? I have a case where our the previous person with a ton of sensitive data on their laptop (confidential data related to their job function)
Rather then setting up a new computer for the new hire, I would like to just set permissions for a hew hire to take over the current system since they will need access to these sensitive files. Is there an elegant way to do this? (Please be specfic)
Thanks!

You could use Windows Easy Transfer (just follow the prompts as though the old machine and new are the same box, but map the old user to a new one), or you could just manually copy the files from one profile to another using the "administrator" account.
