Configuring The Default User Profile

ZLRAC · 09-03-2007, 09:03 AM

Been using some tips from Using Microsoft Windows Vista to do this... I get the Administrator account set up completely just the way I want it. Then I set up the user accounts. Only problem is when I go into the other admin account or the standard user accounts for that matter, they don't appear to be in Vista but rather look like XP. When I try to copy my admin user profile I get an error message. I was able to do this successfully on a previous computer. What am I doing wrong?

are you refering to the actual admin account or a admin account that you have set up

I've seen that page before, it didn't really help me. The instructions are basically like this... I take my admin account and set it up exactly the way I want everyones to be. Then I set up a second admin account called 'xyz.' Then from the xyz account and before any other user logs in, I go to advanced system settings and copy my admin account profile to the default profile. I was able to do this successfully on my previous computer, but the weird thing is now the second admin account and for that matter the other user accounts appear to be in XP mode???

That didn't help. I'm going to try it again.
