I don't want them to have to set up their profile for the software. For example... If someone logs into the computer for the first time I want their settings to be set just like the last person and not have to go through all of the set up process.

Comfort On-Screen Keyboard (CKeyboard.exe) accepts optional command line parameters^

/COMMON

Tells the program that its settings should be saved in the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComfortSoftware\CKeyboard

During a regular program start, settings are saved in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ComfortSoftware\CKeyboard

Add your own link with command "CKeyboard.exe /COMMON" in group "Startup".

To add Comfort On-Screen Keyboard (or any program) to your Startup folder (that will make it work each time you start the windows), please follow the below instructions:

1. Click Start->Programs, then right click on Startup folder and choose Open.

2. On the Startup window, go to File menu and choose New->Shortcut.

3. In the dialog box click the Browse button to specify the program, it's by default at C:\Program Files\ComfortKeyboard\CKeyboard.exe.

4. Add parameter COMMON: "C:\Program Files\ComfortKeyboard\CKeyboard.exe" -COMMON

5. After specifying the program path, click next and finish. Then you will see a new shortcut in the Startup folder.

6. At the next time you start your computer the program will run automatically.

Have a nice day

You can create reg-file with your settings and run it on other computers after install.
Export section HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ComfortSoftware\CKeyboard with regedit.exe
