setting up a new profile

To complete the shift to my new profile, I will have to do the following:
* change location of Documents, Pictures, Music, Video and Downloads folders to winDocs drive;
* display selected desktop widgets (clock, calendar, weather, RSS feed, CPU and memory monitors);
* import Chrome favourites file to IE;
* import Le Monde RSS feed to IE then set up RSS feed widget;
* install Google Chrome (has to be installed for each profile) and set as default browser;
* install mkv2vob (has to be installed for each profile);
* Control Panel > Appearance & Personalisation > Personalisation > Change screen saver > check "On resume, display logon screen";
* select the "bubbles" screen saver;
* check that closing lid 'does nothing' and that 'sleep' does not follow 20 mins of inactivity;
* import (previously saved) Chrome bookmarks to Chrome and Firefox;
* [install/add wireless printer and scanner;]
* pin Chrome, Gmail, uTorrent, Dreamweaver and Fireworks to taskbar
* move Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos and Downloads from old main profile to new profile folders (on WinDocs);
* import Dreamweaver site info (Documents/site_info/) - ah, englesaxe, tradstone;
* set up virtual machines (for each: create new > choose existing vmc);
* set up default folders for uTorrent and mvk2vob (see directories.txt in Docs);
* enter port forwarding info in uTorrent config;
* add 'englesaxe' and 'comics' to Favorites (by drag and drop), in Libraries;
* set up bluetooth connection to 2730;
* set up periodic backups to a new folder (win7_backup) on portable hard drive, excluding 'video';
* do initial backup; delete old backup;
* delete old main profile and rename new one (nickname capitalised);
