Changing registry settings for a brand new account

[andrewbb]

Is there a way to set registry settings for a new user account that
was created programatically? The problem is the registry settings
don't exist until the user logs in to the machine for the first time.

So is there a way to either:
1. create the user profile programatically, or
2. run a script only the first time that user logs into a machine?

Other ideas?

Logon script?
Put something in the user's startup file when you create the account?

If the change is to be made to all new users you can make the change in
the HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT hive, this is the hive that is used to create
the new user's hive when they first log on.
