You can log in as the local administrator, and copy the
existing profile from "c:\documents and settings" over
the top of your newly created account profile to retain
all your old files and settings. You won't be able to
copy to or from the profile you are logged in as, however.

Thanks, Jack

a local user account via the control panel with the same

you need to log on as normal, copy that domain profile to
the local profile via the advanced tab in system
properties, and set the appropriate permissions.
