Default User Not retaining custom folders...

Here's the scenario. I create a user and add:
1. A folder to the My documents folder,
2. a shortcut to the start menu -> startup folder, and
3. a folder with two files to the application data folder.

I use the profile manager (my comp->advanced->user profiles) to copy the
customize user account to the default user. Default user account now has the
3 items listed above.

I run sysprep, and image the machine, the image has the 3 items in the
default user folders. I use the image to load a machine, it goes through a
couple of restarts loading driver and changing the computer name etc. After
it finishes loading, login, and the default user no longer has the 3 items,
thus creating a new user doesn't copy the 3 items to a new user.

Can anyone tell me if I'm doing something wrong? I originally tried to just
create the items straight into the default user folder, but that didn't work
either so I tried the custom user copy to default user method and it isn't
working either.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you

yes, added my changes to the administrator user and they then populate as
they should...
