Persuade TB to use "old" Data

My goal is to reuse the Information (Accounts, Adressbook, Mails) created by
TB on a Windows XP system with TB on a newly installed Windows XP system.

What I have got is a copy of the old system file by file and a new installed
system.

My Idea was, to copy the old "Dokumente und
Einstellungen"<username>
("Documents and Settings") into the new System.

Unfortunatly TB ignores this Data.

Is there any way to force TB to reuse the Information created by its
predecessor?

where "move an existing .." describes a simple one with editing the
.ini 
file ..
Do make sure not to have any files or folders write protected (usually 
when come from a cd copy ..)
