    The subject title may be a bit confusing. Sorry for that...

    Well, my goal is to make a batch-file/exe-file consisting of several registry settings that change many userprofile-settings in one operation.

    The scenario is:

    I have a lot of different computers on a line which I've just installed a clean Windows XP on (both Home and Pro). Then I want to run an exe-file (or a batch-file) on each computer that does all the profile-changes I want to.
    I.E set a certain Wallpaper, set folderview to "Details", disable personalized view in Start-menu etc.

    I know how to make a custom WinXP-CD, but sometimes these computers has their own OS-cd (i.e HP/Compaq) so I want to run this as a separate job after the installation of WinXP.

    These computers are not intended to be a part of a network, so I cannot do it through Active Directory.

    Does there exist a program that run a "Wizard" to make such an exe-file or a batch file?
    I really want it to be a "one-click" operation after a such file is created :)

    PS. My coding skills is not even "newbie"...
