Excuse the dual post, I'm not sure where this fits in.

My Win2000 Prof computer is no longer on a domain, and my old account
portfolio resides on the computer (the stuff in "Documents &
Settings\old_account") whose files are obviously accessible using local
Admin privledges.

I'd like to be able to create a new local account to use my old domain
account files.

I know it's possible, I just don't know if it's easy or whether the Admin
tools will allow this.
