If Doug's advice doesn't capture everything, use the Files and Settings
Transfer Wizard in Windows XP to move your files and settings. Log in with
your old non-domain login, run the F&STW to save everything (I suggest a
network drive or another partition on your PC if you have one), then log on
as the domain user and run F&STW again to re-import everything.
