Anyone know approx how much disk space is allocated by XP hm ed just to create & set up each additional user acct in XP hm ed, whether an administrator or Limited user type?

I don't mean how much data, etc., the user will store. How much space will Windows use / allocate just to have the acct set up, have the personalized My Documents folders (Muffie's Documents), store the user profile, etc?

Also, how much of a hassle is it to regularly assign the settings (profile) from the main Administrator (Owner) acct to each of the other accts so they all have the same programs, menus, icons, etc?

Does assigning the administrator profile really work (well), or in the end, does each user more or less have to create their own icons, settings, etc?

there is no 'general default size' for a new user account, it all depends on the installed software.


Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.'
