Using Windows XP on high end stand along Dell Optiplexes…

We configure the XP OS for our purposes (such as how the folders look, what
is in the start menu, etc.) I assume this OS configuration information is
containted in a file some where. It would be much easier to copy that file
from a configured system to a new system.

1) Is this information contained in a file that can be copied to a new OS?
If so, what are the details on that file.

2) Is there a utility that does this? We have tried some untilities
designed to copy your settings when you buy a new computer, but with limited
results. Since all we want are the OS settings, and they generally copy much
more.

Thanks for your help
Bob
