Can I copy the profile settings from one account to another on a windows xp machine?

I had my computer repaired and when it got back today, something weird with the profiles happened.
Now it seems that the Administrator account has all my former settings (but I don´t have the password for that) and my account (which is also an administrator account) is starting from scratch.
So is there any way to copy the account settings from the other account to mine, instead of having to go through setting everything up as I like again manually?

Hi Sarbjit,
Thanks for the link.
I found and used this one from microsoft itself:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/docum...
Basically, first I had to create the other user profile and then logging in with a user different from the one that I want to copy to, I can copy all settings to that new user I created.
It's quite easy and worked well.
You get the points, Sarbjit.

Just start the Migration Wizard "migwiz.exe" from the "Execute" tag in the "Start" menu.
