Brian,
You will not be able to get to the other profile. Say, for example, that
you had the situation where you had a trust create between two domains and
the user was logging in as UserA from Domain1. There would be a profile for
that. Now, the user is logging in as UserB from Domain2 - BUT - you wanted
to use the profile that was on that specific workstation from UserA in
Domain1. As long as that trust is still in place you could simply use the
Copy To... button.
However, that is not the case (obviously). So, log on as UserB (to use the
two account from the above example). Do not do anything other than logon.
Now, log on to the workstation as either the local Admin or someone who
would be a member of the local Admins group (Domain Admin, for example).
Open up Windows Explorer. Go to the Documents and Settings folder. Copy
the 'stuff' from UserA to UserB. I usually copy Desktop, Local Settings,
Favorites, Application Data, My Documents and Favorites (assuming that I do
not do that via the Import/Export method from IE).
Does this help?

Hi,
Thanks for the detailed reply. I'll look to that for future
reference. Related to this question is another that I have. It looks
like the user profiles that went with the user accounts that were lost
are still on the system - but are now labled as "Account unknown" in
the profile settings section of the system/advanced tab of CP for the
local computer.
When I select one of these it doesn't allow "copy to" (as it does for
new accounts I've added to the domain), so I can't get to "permit to
use." I thought that if I COULD get to the permit to use option, I
could allow a new user account to have access to the items stored in
the now missing account. Is there a way to salvage those "Account
unknown" profiles? They show as being of the similar size to my active
profiles. Also, the last modified date jives with the date I did the
demote/promote. Thanks BRN..
