Though this is not a huge issue, I would like to know if there is a way to login as the “defult user” account in XP pro and make changes to settings like desktop background, Visual effects, and registry tweaks, that would automatically be applied everytime a new user signs on to that workstation.
The problem: I manage over 20 PC’s on a client/server network. I don’t want to use roaming profiles because of the ammount of time it takes users to login on other PC’s. aside from that as Maintenance I like to go through each PC and delete the profiles of users that shouldn’t be logging on to that system on a regular basis *(cuts down on spyware/un-needed files). But when they DO need to use a system other than the one that they are assigned I would like some of the basic settings to carry over. like IE settings, Printers, and visual effects (or lack there of).
does anyone have a solution to this, avoiding roaming profiles? Or perhaps a simple “default user” Roaming profile?
