Windows Default profile question?

I have this problem with the default profile in microsoft windows xp. When I configure the system and copy the configured profile, let's call it temp1, back to the default profile the following happens.

1. When I log into windows under any other username/profile than temp1 when trying to make changes in excel and word the username of the modified is always temp1. This is also when editing documents from sharepoint team services web pages.

2. I run office as the temp1 user to configure office so I can copy it back to the default profile so office does not need to install for every user.

3. When I decided not to configure the temp1 profile and copy it back to default profile, i ran office as an administrator and was able to use word, outlook, and excel. When I logged back in as any other user the computer asks to have the source media for office. I have already installed Microsoft Office 2003 Enterprise with all the service packs and updates installed.

Any ideas to make work?

You need to open the NTUSER.DAT file in regedit. Go through it and take out user specific entries. Maybe search it for "temp1" or find out the sid of temp1 and search for that string.

Install office from a shared network location, preferably a hidden share that users have read access to.
