Pegasus,

Possible new clues for you. Using Windows Explorer, under the C drive,
Documents and Settings, there are these five folders:

Administrator
All Users
CWLEE
cwlee.System-3
Default User

Most, but not all, of the next level folders under CWLEE and
cwlee.System-3 seem to be the same or very similar.

Hoping this brings you an Eureka! moment. :-)

Not really. What you observe is the result of the command
xcopy /s /h /c /d "c:\Documents and Settings\CWLee\*.*" . . .
which you ran at my request many posts ago.

Here are my comments in response to the issues you raised in
the note you sent directly to me:

1. Without access to my previous user account, I will
have to set up, for the first time, the Administrator account
with internet access.
*** Access to the Internet is independent of the account.
*** You only need to duplicate most of the IP address
*** settings that you already have on your other PC.

2. Without access to my previous user account, I will
have to set up, again for the first time, the Administrator
account with OE to send/receive email.
*** EMail is not required.

3. My internet connection is via dial-up, and it may be
that what you have in mind requires a faster speed.
*** Having a dial-up connection makes for a painfully
*** slow connection but it's not a show-stopper.

4. I will be leaving the USA in about x days. <snip>
I would have no way of reestablishing a phone connection to the internet
once it was broken after I leave.
*** Point taken.

<snip>
All things considered, my guess is we probably can't make
much, if any, progress on this until I return in August.

Your thoughts please.
*** You call the shots. If you have concerns about the
*** process then I recommend you postpone it until
*** until you're not under pressure and/or you ask a
*** computer-savvy friend to assist you. Keep in mind
*** that to resolve this problem would take him less
*** than two minutes.
