Is there a way to take one account profile and set it as the default template for all new accounts on a machine.

Ex.
Account = John
Background = logo.bmp
Internet default page = desktop = custom icons

Then when I would create say Jane it would copy everything he has as the default info.
 
I Have XP Pro on the machines, is it possible with that.
 
You can copy the profile to the Default User profile

1. Create a profile for one account and set it up as desired
2. Log in as different user with admin rights
3. Make sure the folder options are set to "Show hidden files and folders"
4. Go to System Properties >> Advanced >> User Profile settings. From there, copy the profile to \Documents and Settings\Default User.
