Copy To for User Profile Is Greyed Out
I need to copy a user profile in Windows 7. I created and logged into the new user, then I logged in as administrator (because I read that you can't be logged in as the user whose profile you want to copy) and the "copy to" button is greyed out when I select the user's profile that I want to copy. I found nothing on-line that helped me solve this problem. How can I copy a user's profile to another user?

did you restart the computer and then log in as administrator?

Yes, I restarted the computer and then logged in as adiministrator. I want to do this because the computer now has a new user that does the same job as the old user. It would save me time if I didn't have to 1.) map the same drives for the new user, 2.) Create the same shortcuts for the new user, 3.) configure the same Microsoft Access preference settings for the new user, install the same printer for the new user, etc. Is the feature removed or disabled?
As John said, I'm fairly certain that this feature was disabled. Well-intentioned Sys Admin personnel were using it to manually copy over the Default user profile, but were ultimately discovering a wide variety of problems that can occur in the aftermath. I would imagine that the same principle applies in this scenario.
