My goal as I stated is to copy a user profile.

I have User1 setup the way I want. I have created User2. I want to copy
the profile from User1 to User2 so it will be the same to start. Then I
intend to modify User2 slightly for a different purpose- I will be using it
in a different location so my network connection, default printer, etc will
be different. (It is a laptop).
