Same setting for a new default account

[jpatto]

People,

I have setup a limited account and using other other tools ive created this account exactly the way i want it (i.e. what files this user can access, what drive is visible to them and what permissions they have on programs etc etc)

Im thinking of reformatting my drive after the introduction of SP2, but i dont want to spend another 2 weeks configuring every setting again. Is there a way i can create a script file or something to save these settings for this user ONLY and use them after ive installed my op system? if so please advise also everytime i create a new account i want it to have my default settings everytime rather than the ones you normally have - is there a way to do this to so everytime i create an account they will automatically have the settings i set automatically?

Thank you

Now if you just want to save the profile, just save that user's folder

(in C:\Documents and Settings) on some other media and then after

you reinstall, copy that folder into the user's new folder in

C:\Documents and Settings .

Now if you want that to be your default user profile then

first, go into C:\Documents and Settings .

Then from menu on top click Tools -> Folder Options.

Then click the View tab. Select "Show Hidden Files and Folders".

You should see a Default User folder. Copy the contents of the

desired user folder into the default user folder. Now your desired

profile is your default user profile. Voila!
