Pretty easy. I'm going to give you instructions for 2k/XP environment. I'm
assuming they logon to the computer so they must have user accounts. You can
create a shared directory called \\computer\directory. Then create a account
called user. Configure the system the way you want it. Then log off and log
on as admin. Then under Documents and Settings open the user folder. You
should see NTuser.dat file there. You might have to enable the view of all
files and folders. Copy that file to the shared directory. Rename the file
the ending extension of .man so the file would be called ntuser.man. This
makes it a mandatory profile. They can make changes while there on it but
they arent saved.

Let me know if it doesnt work. I have other options. But reply back with OS
and environment...its helpful.
