Force users to use the same profile

[Guest]

Is it possible to force all users to use the same profile on a Windows 2000
computer? The computer is in a domain environment and there's about 70
different people that will probably user it from one time to another.
Basically I have some scanner software which needs to be configured with each
& every profile. It would be nice to do it once and force all users to use
that same profile.

The only supported (and supportable) way to do that is
to configure all accounts to use a mandatory profile.
That would mean exactly the same profile for all users,
and no way for any user to change it.

Use of one profile with more than one account when it is
not a mandatory profile leads to a number of subtle (and
some not so) problems, not to mention it being confusing
to one person when they log in and find things are different
due to what the last user did to change thing.
