You can also right-click on My Computer and go to Properties. Here you can
go to the Advanced Tab and choose user profiles. You can then copy the old
profile to the new login in the domain. Make sure you login one time as the
new domain user first so it creates the profile. It will copy all the
desktop and user settings as well as email accounts and My Docs.
