Now set up your default apps in Windows the way you want them. As long as the permissions are correct that will work too. Or you could just rename the Old default profile to Default.old and name yours Default. Just change that back whenever you want to go back to the old Default Profile. In the registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList change the Default Key to point to your new DefaultProfile $SystemDrive%\Users\DefaultOrg. Make sure to apply it to all subfolders as well. Now under its security settings make sure it has the Users group has the permissions Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, and Read.
