How can i customize one Windows installation and apply this customization to other computers?

I have to maintain a large number of computers at work and here is what i want to do: I install Windows XP. Then, i customize it. Like disabling the screensaver, enabling quick launch, setting computer%26desktop properties and so on. Well, how can i "record" all this with a program that generates an .exe file or a .vbs or whatever, so i can port all my customization to other computers running a clean installation of Windows XP? So i don't have to do it manually all the time in all those computers that i have to set...

Thanks in advance!

You can do this a number of ways...

You can build one computer to your liking. Then you create an image of the computer using a program like Acronis True Image. You can then image all the other computers using the image of the original. This is beneficial because you won't need to go through the windows installation on all the other PCs. Note - You can only image computers (without many more steps) of the same hardware specs.

Another way to do this is to use the "File and settings transfer wizard". Export the settings to a cd or other external device. Then on the other PCs import the settings using the same wizard. If any of the machines are PRE XP you will need the XP installation disc for this wizard.
