reinstalled xp but lost settings

Hello, I reinstalled xp and kept all files and programs intact, but now since I am a new user I can't easly access them. This was created: "C:\Documents and settings\newuser". Can I exchange this for "C:\Document and settings\olduser"? I am trying to recover all the old settings for the old user's programs, paths, etc. I have tried to just rename the newuser directory, but it won't let me. Is there a better way? Can someone direct me to find a solution? Thank you.
