Log into the local account.. (choose to logon NOT in the domain, but the
local machine.) Use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard (Google it if
you don't know what I am talking about - or use the Built in help and
support in Windows..) to export the infomration from the account.

Now - log back into the domain account you created/was created for you and
use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard to import the settings from the
location you just exported to.
