   WinXP has no "clone" function.  Duplication of a User is   
   usually done by the Documents and Settings Wizard.   
   You can create a new User2 and then import into it   
   the Documents and Settings (in whole or part) of User1.

   This seems unusual.  The firewall component of WinXP   
   was updated years later than 2002 supposedly to resist   
   penetrations not known in 2002.
