Modifying default / all users profile

[Guest]

What is the proper method to modify a system so that I can make changes to
the default user so that when we add anyone, the changes are already there?

I have tried to modify both the registry and the Default Profile in seperate
tests w/o any success.

Registry:
1) Modified the HKEY_Users\.Default
2) Added a new user and rebooted

Profile:
1) Created a template profile as an admin
2) Logged off and on as another admin
3) Copied the template profile to the Default User
4) Created a new user as an admin and tested the settings
4) All seemed to be ok until I restricted the user
5) Issued appeared (Icons dissappearing, etc etc)


Thanks!

..default is when noone is logged in. The default profile is what you want (a user called default). Load the NTUSER hive in Regedit (normally C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\ntuser.dat). You may want to read regedit's help.
