Hi George,
Thanks for your reply!
As far as I know, you can establish a network default user profile that
applies to all new users on Windows 2000 computers. After downloading this
default profile and logging on, the user can customize the profile
(provided that it is not mandatory).
More related information, please refer to:
Deploying Windows 2000 Professional and Office - Chapter 5 - Deploying User
Settings - Creating User Setting Profiles

Hope that helps!
Thanks & Regards,
Ken Zhao
