Not so complicated. First, do a complete backup with CCC--it works  
again in 10.4.2. Then just make a new folder in /Users/Shared, move  
everything you want to keep to that folder, go to System Preferences-- 
 >Accounts and make a new user (I changed my short name from "vl" to  
"v") move your data to your new user, delete the old one, repair  
permissions, and away you go. I keep 25GB of iTunes in the /Shared  
folder anyway, so that's a big chunk that doesn't have to be moved.  
Took less than 10 minutes--not counting the backup which I was doing  
anyway.
So in answer to your question about preference files, all I can say  
is that it's definitely inside ~/Library since I didn't do anything  
to /Library.
ciao,
Vince
