Remove Computer from Domain and Save User Profile

I have a computer running Windows 7 which was part of a domain.  The computer is no longer part of the domain but the domain settings show it as still being part of that domain.  I want to remove the domain without losing the user profile.

Once you change the computer's config from domain to workgroup, create a new local user.

Log on as that user. A new profile will be created.
Log off and log on as the local administrator.
Copy the profile of the domain user over the one of the local user.

voila!
