2. Log-in with the new user account.
3. Click Start>type regedit in search box and then hit enter.
4. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
5. Right-click -> export to a public folder or root dir. When you right-click>export, just save it to a common place where you can access it on both profiles (something simple like C:\ is fine.)
6. Login back to your original account where you face the issue.
