RE: How to make a standard profile w/ Default User

Hello Niatross,

What setting are not transferred or rather what settings removed or reset?
Please list all the settings that are reset or changed as a result of using
copyprofile that concern you.


You can use this blog as well which points to other additional
configuration that can be done to the default user profile.
