Default XP Pro - Default New User Profile

Create a user and configure it as you wish the default profile to be. Then
with a different useraname (must be and administrator) log in and enable the
view of hidden files and folders. Then right click on Mycomputer, click on
properties and click on advanced, move down to the profiles and click on
Settings. Here you'll see a list of available profiles, choose the one you
modified to be your default, select it and click on copy to. Then navigate
to C:\documents and settings\Default profile and copy it to that location.
It should ask you to over write just ssay yes. From then on all the NEW
users that are crated will have the default look that you created in the
first profile. If you cant see the "default user" folder make sure you
have enabled to view hidden files and folders.

I am new to XP administration. Until now we have had
Win98 PCs, and recentlyw XP computers.

For consistancy, I would like all new XP users to get
the "classic windows" defaults when they first log in. I
couldn't find how to create a default user profile for new
users on Microsoft's site.

Any ideas?

Thank you!
Mike
