Default user -user profile?

William Stokes

Hello,

Is the default user profile for distributing settings for users logging on
to the workstation?

If I configure 1 user profile and copy the profile's files under Documents
and Setting to the Default user folder are they copied to new user profiles
logging in to the workstation?

Thanks
-Will

How to create a custom default user profile
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319974

A custom default user profile is helpful if several people use the same
computer but each user wants a separate profile and access to shared
resources. When multiple users log on locally to the same computer, Windows
XP uses the built-in default user profile as a template to assign a profile
to each new user. You can replace this built-in profile with a custom
default user profile so that each new user receives a custom version of the
profile.

In short - a default user profile is the template for all *new* users that
logon to a machine or - if you wish - into a domain member machine. However
you setup the default user profile, the *new* users will get those default
settings. Look and feel included. If you are not using "Mandatory
Profiles" or otherwise deleting the users locally stored profile (or network
stored roaming profile) - then they will not get this default each
subsequent time they log into said machine - only the first.
