Copy and Apply XP Setting

[LouV]

Anyone know a good way to copy and apply Widows XP Pro settings that are normally profile specific? For example, the settings such as “hide inactive icons”, disable
"personalized menus”, as well as certain folder settings, etc.? In the process of applying a master image to a number of new desktops, I soon realized, when a machine is later set up with a different user/profile, all the settings from the master machine/profile will be reset with the new profile. It would be great if I could use some kind of a master settings “template” when setting up the users machines.

Thanks in advance,
Lou V.
