Grab "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME", copy it into "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User" before logging onto the domain. (or blow away the USERNAME.DOMAIN profile and re-login)
"C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\NTUSER.DAT" and "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows\UsrClass.dat" Are usually locked, and are part of the registry - so copying them over carries over all of those impossible-to-find registry entries like toolbars and such. I usually use IZarc to grab everything as it ignores file locking. If you have stuff you don't want re-created on _all_ new users' desktops strip it out first, or make a backup of "Default User", login with the domain account, then recreate "Default User" The Microsoft tools for doing this don't work or miss things.

For example, a user like c:\documents and settings\rguyton changes to c:\documents and settings\rguyton.HMDCDOMAIN Is there a way to get this to use the existing profile? Also, i went into gpedit.msc and set "allow local profiles only" since we're not using roaming profiles . Thanks for any assistance.
