Is it possible to transfer data directly from one user to another user's desktop?

I haven't gotten the other user similar enough to use it as a primary, so I 
don't know yet if I will experience the plethora of problems I get with the 
primary user.  When I have moved enough data, I will just change users.  If I 
then notice that I don't have the problems, I will deduce that something that 
I have done in the past has screwed up the system.  I don't  expect that to 
be so, though, because I cannot find a connection to the problems.  They 
occur spontaneously, and not after making an adjustment to my system that 
would suggest that as being the reason for the problem.

These problems reoccur.  If I posted everytime they occurred, it would drive 
you all as crazy as it does me.  I still suspect me as the culprit; I have 
been experimenting so long intrying to fix my computer without outside help, 
that I may be doing something without noticing in my usual experimentation 
for fixes that is the cause of all my problems.  That is what I hope to find 
out when my alternate user is complete enough to use.  The actual electronics 
of a computer is a mystery to me.  I don't know if a short can be 
insignificant enough to not completely break the system and can just affect a 
package that is being used at the time of occurrence.  That seems a logical 
reason to me.  But equally logical is the fact that I have been improperly 
using the computer for so long that I repeat some mistake while trying to fix 
a break that it may happen before I post for solution.  In a way, I think it 
may be a GODsend, because I have to work so hard keeping my system working 
that I learn in the process.
