Dear Ramesh,

Perfect! the default user profile template was
just what i was looking for.
(Don't want to mess up my Registry)
The only thing is that when you create
a template you have to do it using a limited
user account and a limited account just refuses
to accept:

"Single click to open an item (point to select)/
Underline icon titles only when i point at them"

but only

"Single click to open an item (point to select)/
Underline icon titles consistent with my browser"
(it's annoying cause all icons, files, folders, everything gets
nderlined.. )

no matter how many times i try.

Thanks for your help!
Carlos,
