Loss of settings per user

I have a small call center with many people that sit at different stations. I
am replacing all my old WinME computers with XP Pro. I have an NT domain and
everyone has a login to the domain. In ME, I could set all the user settings
to be the same no matter who logged into the PC, bookmarks, menus, look and
feel, printers... But now with XP each user has to be setup on each PC which
is a real pain as I have 7 PCs and 15 users.

Is there any way to get XP to work like ME so that I only have to setup a PC
once the way I want it to look and feel, then anyone that sits there gets the
same thing without having to do a by login setup?
