Changing admin accoutn

I am creating a new account. It will be the ADMIN account. A common account
is currently used for two people with seperate passwords for mail. I want to
seperate. How do I move all the files (mail, favorites, desktop, etc.)
associated with one of the passwords to the new ADMIN user account, assuring
that the other user does not have access to them in the old account?

Hello Spaz,
How about burn those files (mail,favourites, etc --- NOT desktop ) to a cd, delete the filesfrom the current account, set up a new account, in this case an admin account, and upload the files back to the new admin account.
Will that work ?
