A method I've used for this is the Default User profile on the Domain Controller (Samba in our case). The user profile is generated at first login for any given user on a given machine, and no user can login for the first time without contacting the DC, so laptops aren't a problem. I found the information I needed to make this work here: http://www.ckollars.org/defaultuser.html#tweaking Summarised process: Login to a fresh machine, setup your profile how you want it. Log off, copy C:\Docs&Settings\<yourusername>\* to "%LogonServer%\netlogon\Default User\" %LogonServer% is your Domain Controller. We have two, and I rsync between them so they match. Of course, all of this assumes you're using a domain, rather than a workgroup or standalone machines. Without it, you'll need to make your tweaks at installation time, as a few people have referred to.
