I think a simple way would be to create a new limited account, configure
your theme and windows settings and then log into an admin account. Go to
the profile directory of the newly created user and copy the NTUSER.DAT
file to the default user account. You can then delete the limited account
you just created. When a new account is created, the settings should be
copied at the first logon.
