Sysprep and large profile

I have been surprized by two phenomena:
1. After installing the Windows XP PC, we found
that the Administrator's profile is more then
100MB, while the profile info in the System /
control pane points to some 13MB
2. The new user's profile is a replica of administrator's
profile.

What i wrong about the procedure?

TIA

Hello Milos,
1) I do not see this after running SP2. My administrator's profile is no
where near 100 meg, more like 7 meg on one machine and 6 on another.
check the profile for files that may have been copied to my documents or
the desktop while logged in as administrator. Sp2 does not grow the
profile to 100 meg.
2) This was a change in SP2 to help with profile customization. The
Administrator profile is copied over the Default User profile, the one
workaround I have seen is to rename the administrator profile to something
else like admin and the copy process does not take place.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
