Is there a way to specify a default printer for all users in W2k?

Haven't tried this myself, but looks good:

1)Log in, and set up the machine as you want it. Ie install programs, set screen resolution, shortcuts, etc.

2)Then, make sure you can see the default folder. My Computer-Tools-Folder Options-View-Show hidden files.

3)Right click on My Computer, then properties, then user profiles.

4)Select the profile you are logged in as (should be your "perfect" profile.

5)Hit the copy to button, and change permitted to use to everyone.

6)The browse for the default folder (c:\documents and settings\default user, click on it, say ok, ok again, and yes.

This is a perfect solution. Thank you.
