I upgraded from 98 to xp, I wanted my wifes log in to be exactly like mine
to start off. I followed instructions to copy my user settings to her log in
and everything was fine, identical settings and desktop. However, when I
change her admin status to normal user so that some of the crazier things
she does wouldn't affect my settings, her settings have reverted back to new
user, nothing like mine.

If I reinstate her as an admin the settings are like mine again. How can I
make the new settings stick without giving her admin rights ?
