When a new user logs in to a PC I would like to have a default profile that includes a proxy server address in IE, a default printer, and a default email setup.
Is this possible, and if so how is it possible?

log on as administrator on the machine. create an account for a user JOE. logon as that new user. do all the settings that need to be set. Then log on as administrator again. all items in the c:\documents and settings\joe folder to the c:\documents and settings\all users folder.
that works for xp and 2000, for NT the path is c:\winnt\profiles, for 98 ask someone else as I don't support it.
Log on as administrator. Make all modification needed. Export the profile in a tempory directory and do not forget to export it so it can be used by "everyone".
Copy the file called NTUSER.DAT (you just export into c:\temp\%profile%) into the default profile(c:\winnt\profiles\default user\)you will be ask to write over the old one.
Everytime a user will log on, he will receive the default profile with the right setting.
Have fun,

A little convoluted but copying the NTUSER.DAT file to the DefaultUser profile folder worked just fine.
How do you 'Export' a profile?
