In other words I do not want to log into the worgroup any longer.

When I log into my machine locally, the profile loaded is not the
same.  Different desktop.  Outlook not working etc.

You can try copying the profile to a new local profile.  Just go to
the properties of My Computer and go to the Advanced Tab.  Then click
the "Settings" button under User Profiles.  From here, select the
profile you'd like to copy and the profile you want to copy to by
clicking the "Copy To" button.  It should setup all the same user
profile settings.  I'm not sure what domain profile settings are on
the domain profile.  Some settings may not work when copying from a
domain profile to a local one.

Good luck

In documents and settings copy the profile data and copy it to the
local account you wish to have.  you cant make a domain profile local
since its configured soley for domain use... so to sum it up you can
only copy the data over and try and make it as even as possible
