I have created a new user account for everyday use. Up to
now I have done everything in the
original "Administrator" account.

How do I transfer the folders/files from "My Documents"
in the "administrator" account to "my new" user account?
Is it as simple as dragging them from
the "Administrator's Documents" folder into my new user
folder? or would I screw something up back in
the "Administrator" account?

Also, how do I transfer my desktop items from
the "Administrator" account to "My New" account?

Thanks
