I recently did a clean install of XP Pro and have set up three user accounts; mine has administrator status, the other two have serf/peon status LOL.
I have customized settings for my 10 year old's account, and tweaked hell out of it with tweak ui, disabled balloon tips, set up security settings, etc.
Having finally gotten things the way I like for one of my kids, I would like to create accounts for my other 12 (or is it 13? I'd better go count...) but I really WOULD RATHER NOT spend a half hour going through all the same tweaks for each account. I tried using the "Files and Settings Transfer Wizard" to export settings only, creating a new user, and importing the settings, which worked great except for the registry settings that tweak ui takes care of and such. Still a lot of plodding to do.
Does anyone know of a better way to duplicate a user's account completely? I'm guessing it would involve the CurrentUser directory in the Registry but I don't know how to work with that.
Thanks in advance for any tips.3
