Hello,
I have copied a user profile from one coputer to another. I have copied everything in tge C:\Documents and settings\'username' to the same place on the other computer. But when I log in to the other computer the user profile is not loaded the same as on the first computer. Files are the same (such as i have got all the same desktop shortcuts) but the settings have not loaded the same(desktop wallpaper, theme, desktop layout etc) It just blue with the grey taskbar.
How can I copy a profile from one computer to another and have the profle load the same?

so, you went to the other computer, followed the wizard, saying
this is old computer, saved to other, then selected folder on say
usb stick

Then on new pc selected this is new pc, & went to location on
usb.
