My computer crashed a few months ago, and I haven't been able to purchase a new one just yet, so I have been borrowing and using a buddys computer, and last night he made me my own user account, but all of my torrents, downloads, and programs (bittorrent, etc.) are on his user account. I was just wondering how I can transfer all of that to my user account. Thanks in advance d00derz.

first, you'll have to run as an administrator.   log in with his credentials (if he is an admin) to avoid ownership issues.

the torrents and downloads you can just cut and paste to your account.  the apps you should just be able to create shortcuts to avoid re-installing everything. unless when they were installed, they were installed for all users, then they will already be available.

the user accounts should be here C:\Documents and Settings.  you'll see his acct and yours, as well as any other users.  go into his profee, cut what you want, paste into yours and make your shortcuts.

that should do it as simple as possible ;)
nothing i see can be taken from me...
