NTUSER.DAT

[imported_jaredj]

Can you use the same NTUSER.DAT from a NT4.0 on a XP Pro sp1? Thanks in advance

I could be wrong but I don't think so.

Nope, that is why you must use Microsofts User State Migration tool (Copy Settings Wizard) in order to copy your settings from one version to another.

Among other things, I *think* NTUSER.DAT contains *your* registry settings. If that is correct, I somewhat confident that NT and XP vary quite a bit in terms of registry values (might have similar "Keys" and "Values," but the "Data" within might not the same across the OSes).
