In response to this thread, you can definately delete the
Administrator profile (directory) from under Documents and Settings
before imaging it. My systems are FAT32 and the SYSPREP.INF file has
a one-time command to run CONVERT to change the drive to NTFS on first
log-in.

So I sysprep - turn back on with a bootable DOS floppy or CD and
remove the Administrator folder. Then I image the drive.

When Mini-Setup launches, it has no Administrator profile to copy so
it skips that leaving the Default User profile alone.

Works like a charm!
