ok, so in windows 2000, you could create a user set it up the way you wanted
and overwrite the default user profile. this would create most of the custom
settings you wanted for your newly created users.

I tried this in 2008, and when I tried to load a new user I got a profile
error, and it loaded a temp profile. instead of copying the template I
wanted

Any ideas on how to customize the default profile?

TIA!
