How to transfer files from one user to another under Vista?

A simple way is to move the file to the Public folder.
Public folder is accessible by all users.

How...
Right click on the file > click Move To > navigate to the Public folder > click on move.

If you do not Move To option in your right click context Menu, here is the tutorial...

Use an easier method.

PS you can also use methiod drag-and-drop rather than pass to the method. I prefer the latter.

    Try this method.

    To copy files to the new user profile

    After creating the profile, you can copy the files from the existing profile. You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to perform these operations, including the new account that you created.

    1. Log on as a user other than the new user that you created or the user that you want to copy the files.

    2. Open Documents by clicking on the button start , and then clicking Documents.

    3. Click on the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.

      If you don't see the Tools menu, press ALT.

    4. Click the view tab, click Show files and folders, protected the clear theHide operating system files check box, and then click OK.

    5. Find the C:\Users\Old_Username folder, where C is the drive that Windows is installed, and where ancien_nom_utilisateur represents the name of the profile you want to copy the files to.

    6. Select all the files and folders in this folder, except the following files:

      • Ntuser.dat

      • Ntuser.dat.log

      • Ntuser.ini

    7. Click the Edit menu and then click on copy.

      If you don't see the Edit menu, press ALT.

    8. Look for the C:\Users\New_Username folder, where C represents the drive Windows is installed, and New_Username is the name of the new user profile you created.

      If you don't see the Edit menu, press ALT.

    10. Sign out and then sign back in as a new user.

  • Copy some files from one user to another

    Hello!

    How can I copy (not share) some files from one user to another?

    The reason for this is because we rename users to other allocation model.

    Thank you!

    You must share the folders you want to transfer the ownership of the new username, or one responsibility that the new user has (I guess that's an Oracle Applications EUL). The user connects to Discoverer more with their new name. They open the workbook (s) and then do a SAVE AS. Who will save the workbook with them as the new owner. You must then sign with the old name of the owner and to delete these old files (after the first backup them) once you are sure that everything works fine. Yes, it is a nasty process. What we do is we use a "dummy" username when we create/modify the workbooks. In this way the fictional user name is the owner of the workbooks. So, it does not matter if a person leaves or if you change the user naming conventions. If you have many users to create cabinets, then a dummy user name doesn't quite work. You could always submit an enhancement request to Oracle for a copy function. I hope that you will get a lot of customers to support such a request.

  • Help: How to transfer data from one form to another form form

    Hello:

    I was wondering how / if it is possible to transfer data from form from one form to another form. I create a flow of forms, which are as follows: form of Incident report-> form of risk analysis-> error-> report form decision support survey Standard-> report form of risk control-> form of mitigation-> etc... You get the gist. It would be very time-consuming to constantly transfer the standard who, what, when, where and how from one form to the other. I was wondering how do? I have looked around on the net and this forum and couldn't find a tutorial or a guide? Is this possible with Adobe forms?

    I use a XML schema for the form to preload a list of employees and the standard list information and then publish the form to submit in PDF format for opening and tracking form mobile device. I notice that I can export the data in a form that is distributed in XML but I can't import in a distributed form. I'm a newb with code, but may contain a little of my own.

    An example of how to achieve this with a field name or something would be greatly appreciated! If you need anything, or a copy of the forms let me know!

    Thank you kindly,

    Al

    Hi Al,.

    I have here an example where the data in a single form are 'communicated' to other forms. Please note that there are specific script in each of the forms. It's a work in progress and one day I'll come back make a more polished example: http://assure.ly/qQivbm.

    Please be very descriptive.  need help now

    Hello rokr676,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft answers Community Forum.

    One of the easiest ways to transfer files is to use Windows easy transfer.

    Windows Easy Transfer is installed with Vista and is found under Accessories - tools system or by searching for "easy" (with the quotes).

    You can transfer files and settings using a network share, or transfer files and settings using removable media such as CD/DVD or external hard drive. Windows Easy Transfer does not migrate installed applications.

    Using Windows Easy Transfer, you can migrate most of the files and the program settings. The following table describes the types of data and parameters that can be moved.

    Data type
    Specifications

    Files and folders We can choose to be automatically moved all the files found in the folder My Documents, my pictures and Shared Documents. You can also add other documents located in other places. The messages and settings E-mail messages, contacts, settings, account and address books from Outlook Express, Outlook, Windows Mail and other programs. The program settings Programs that are compatible with Vista will have their settings transferred to the new computer. So that this works, the program must already be installed on the computer running Vista. User settings Desktop settings, color, screen savers, fonts settings, options Windows, printers, etc. Settings Internet Favorites, cookies, and Internet Explorer settings. Photos, videos and music The music files, playlists and album. Images (gif, jpg, bmp files) and personal videos.
    Manually transfer:
    Open a session with the new user account that you may have created. To ensure that this new user account has administrator privileges.

    Open Explorer > organize > folder and Search Options > view tab > check show the hidden files and folders > OK to save the settings.

    Now navigate to your C:\Users\(Old Username folder) and copy all the files and folders in the folder C:\Users\(Old Username) in the C:\Users\(New Username folder).

    I created a new standard account on our computer for our son.  How to make games and programs i.e. itunes, world of warcraft, etc. for transfer from the main account of his new user account.  I created a new account for him and a lot of the transferred programs but without 'data', it's in the main account.  For example, itunes transferred to his new account, but none of its playlists transferred.  It looks like his games transferred, but when you click on the game to open it, nothing happens.
    I created a new account for him we want to set up parental controls for him (for the most limiting internet time).  Our main account is password protected and he doesn't know the password, so whenever he wants to use the computer, it should go to the computer and type the password for him.  I want to be able to access its games and programs with their own account, eliminating the need to we should stop what we are doing to type a password for him.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • How to transfer programs from a user account to a different user account

    I want to transfer selective programs that appear in "All programs" from one user to another account

    If you mean you want an entry in the start menu > all programs to switch from one account to another on the same computer, which is easy.  If you're talking about two different computers, you are unable to do so (you will need to uninstall one and reinstall on another using the original installation media).

    WARNING: Some programs, such as Internet browsers, have "profiles" that are specific to each user.  If this is the kind of program you concerned, cannot move just the shortcut as described below.  If you are not sure, please identify what "selective programs" you want to move.

    Change the content to start > all programs on two accounts on the same computer

    It's easier if you have at least one account with "computer administrator" privileges  If you need to, you can use the built-in account named "Administrator".  The password of this account is blank (no password).  You can access the Safe Mode or - in XP Pro administrator only - from welcome with no other account connected screen by pressing twice CTRL + ALT + DELETE.

    The key to this procedure is that the entries in the menu start > all programs are simply shortcuts that point to the actual location of the application executable files.  What follows is easier to do than to in order to explain them.

    Suppose you want to move an entry of account A to account B on the same computer.

    Assume that you are connected to the account A and that is a computer administrator account.

    • Click Start, and then select open
    • Double-click the folder programs
    • Scroll down the page until you find the program you are interested in or the folder in which it is located.

    If the account is NOT a computer administrator account and you are connected to the place C account, who is an administrator (or administrator) account, replace the first stage with the following text:

    • Open a Windows Explorer window and navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\\Start Menu, where is the name of the account, i.e., A

    Now, open a new Windows Explorer window and navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\\Start Menu, where is the name of the other account, that is, B.

    N-click-drag the element from the first window of Windows Explorer to another.
