Acccounts in Vista -I'm having trouble

I asked this question at the end of a longer thread I'd started, and I
guess it is old news so no one looks to see that I've taken advice,
but need some more.
In short. I've been about a year on my Vista home prem. machine, and
have not set up administrator account and so I am using it with its
power that I don't quite understand, which they tell me leaves me more
open to invaders etc..
So they convinced me. I tried to start a new user account, but saw
that it does not have all the files and programs that I depend on. It
seems to say, Start over and do all that stuff you did over a year's
time all over again.
Question: How do I make a user account with what I have?
I'd think I could just call what I have now a user account and create
an administrator account beside it, but I haven't been able to figure
out how to do it.

Thanks in advance

You can create a new account that is an administrator, then simply change
your current account to a standard account.
Or you can run the Windows Easy Transfer Wizard and create a file of all
your files and settings, then use that on your new account.
