How can you switch files over to new account on Windows Vista?

If you create a new account on Windows Vista and you have another account. Can you switch files from your old account to your new account?|||Yes, create your new acount and login as your new acount. Open my computer and go to C:/ drive then Users. Then rename your new acount to your old acounts name. Then rename your old acount to your new acounts name. Done, you mIght need to restart your computer.|||To make life easy:





Go to your C driver, then Users. You'll see the old account name and the new account. Click the old account and copy or cut ( i would choose cut since it's faster) thoses folders not files and go back to the Users and chose your new account and paste. Merge the files and that should be it. It will take some time depending on how many and how large the files on the old account are.
