When setting up an account, can you copy shortcuts etc
from one account to another (or copy a whole account then
delete the bits you don't want). With the second account,
will system applications that load on startup (Zonealarm,
NAV etc) apply to all accounts on that PC?

If you want to do this, you will have to make sure you are logged in as a
totally different (depending on your setup) administration user to do this.
Example: Say you want to copy the account "Snodes" to the account "Matthew"
In order to get everything you want, you will have to login as say,
Administrator then go to %system root%\Documents and settings\ and copy the
entire contents of Snodes to Matthew.

That was you will get the ntuser files and all the good stuff.

Disclaimer: It works for me. :)
