First you will need to log in to that Computer and create a profile that you want all the users to have next you will need rename the NT User.dat to .man which makes it a mandatory profile .. Now you will need to specify that the users uses this profile in the users account. You will also need to copy the profile to the users profile directory.

After you have organized your desktop with a specific account you logged with, than you can copy the profile of that specific account to All Users folder. To do so follow these steps:

? Right click on My Computer and choose < Properties>
? Clickon tap
? Highlight the profile you have made the changes to and click on button
? Click on button
? Select under the e.g. (C:\drive)
? Select folder and click on OK
? Now you should have the same desktop settings for every one that log on your machine

Note: You also can select only the folder from the profile you made the changes to and copy it to folder. Follow these steps:

? Open Windows Explorer
? Under the e.g. C:\drive click on folder and select the profile that has the right settings
? Copy the folder
? Click on folder and select the folder and click on Paste (you do that either from the edit menu or by right clicking and choose paste from the menu)

Good Luck!
