Well what you need to do is create a new user account called "profile" with no password.
Then login to the account, set it up the way you want the account to appear for "new users" and then log out.
Shut down the computer then turn it back on, login to an administrator account and then go to C:\Documents and Settings and copy the entire contents of "Profile" to C:\Documents and Settings\Default (please note it is a hidden folder) so you will have to change the folder permissions to view the hidden folders.
Once this is done remove the user "profile" and then create a new user called testuser, login to the computer as test user and see if the setting you did were put into effect.
It should work, as this is the way I create layouts for all the users on our school districts network.
Also I had a question? I never had time to learn how to Clone/Image a computer and I usually just go to each computer and add it to the Active Directory. I usually install programs that the students and teachers would need but I dont want to go to every workstation to do so.
How would I setup a "master" computer, clone it, then redistribute the cloned image to all the computers?
What software is involved and is it free? I have heard of sysprep but never had time to test it out?
