DefProf

When you’re setting up a new machine and planning to make multiple user accounts, it would normally be necessary to configure each of them manually after they are created. Even if some configurations are identical for all accounts, there is no way to set a default profile to be used for all new users.

DefProf is a command-line utility that was designed to address this issue. It works on Windows 7 through 10, allowing administrators to set up a default profile and reduce the amount of work required when setting up new accounts.

While it uses an MSI installer, the program only extracts an executable file in the same folder, which is the utility you will use to create the default profile. Since it lacks a GUI, the program needs to be opened in either PowerShell or Command Prompt.

Once you have launched the utility, instructions will be available in the command-line window. Essentially, you need to type Defprof, followed by the name of the profile you would like to set as the default. After the task has been completed, all new users profiles should use the settings and documents taken from the account designated as the default.
