Posted December 18, 201113 yr Hello, In the past (even with W7 Beta), I could create a profile set up to corporate specs, then copy that profile to the Default Profile. The process went something like this: 1 - Set up profile with corporate settings, links, etc. 2 - Create dummy admin account. 3 - Log in to dummy admin account and copy 'set up profile' to the default profile. 4 - Log out of dummy admin and delete the dummy admin account. At this point any new logins would have the 'corporate profile' as their starting point. With W7 RC1, I am unable to copy any profiles to the default. The 'Copy To' button in 'User Profiles' is grayed out for any dummy admin account I create, as well as for the built-in Administrator account. How do I go about modifying the default profile? Is there some new 'best practice' regarding W7? Just to be clear, I was able to do this in the Beta, but now am unable to do so in the RC. I'm hoping that there is an alternate method to modify the default user profile as this seems like a serious backstep from the Beta. I hope this isn't 'by design' as it places a serious crimp in our corporate deployment. Continue reading...
