Have you tried the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard?  Then 
use those on a new account.

A friend tried to move her daughters user directory by copy and 
pasting
but XP protested preventing her from being able to log into it. 
It is
viewable through Explorer but the user account doesn't work.

So I thought a drawn out method would be to create a new user 
with the
same security and copy her profile into that, then delete her 
old
profile and re-create it again. Then copy her profile back into 
her
newly created account.

Is this too much? Is there an easier approach? The system is XP 
Pro SP2.
