Du you deploy XP SP1 or XP SP2?

If deploying Windows XP SP1 you need to copy the configured profile to
the default user profile.

Windows XP SP2 Mini-Setup was modified so that, by default, Mini-Setup
will copy any customizations from the local administrator account to
the default user account.

There is a hotfix available for reverting this to SP1 behaviour.
