Your best method - if the new users do not exist yet/have not logged in the
first time yet and you want them exactly the same as an existing user - is
to create a Default User Profile:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319974
Then every user you create will be populated with the information/setup of
the user you created the Default User profile off of.
If, however, you have already created the users and simply NOW want to make
these users look like the one account, here is what you will need.
You need two Administrative accounts to start with - or at least in your
case it is easier this way.
1) Setup one account like you would like the other accounts to be.
2) Create the other user accounts you wish to make for use.. If you haven't
already.
3) Reboot.
4) Log on as the user you have created for use (the one you want to look
like the first account in step one.)
(Log off/on as many times as users you created, one time each..)
5) Reboot.
6) Log on as another Administrative user - NOT the one you setup in step 1
and not any that you logged in with in Step 4.
7) Do your copy profile thing, directing the profile in step 1 to copy to
one of the users in step 4 - changing the permissions to "Everyone". Do
this for each account. (You could also make the permissions the username of
the one you are copying to - as they are the only ones that really need
permissions to that folder.)
8) Reboot.
You should be done. Erase any accounts you do not need.
However, the Default User profile account is easier. heh
