I am in a workgroup environment, so I cannot use roaming profiles. I
have xp workstations in a workgroup environment and want to make it so
every user that logs in has the same desktop icons, etc. How do I do
this in workgroup, I assume I need to be in domain environment to use
roaming profiles, group policy.


Do you mean "The same as existing users, when a new user
logs on the very first time" or "The same day in day out, no
matter what the user might do in between"?

Also: Are you talking about WinXP Home or Professional?
