[Casper] Setting default user items

[Ernst, Craig S.]

Are these settings needing to be set for users that already have a local profile, or for new users logging on to a system the first time? And to be clear you want to set the default browser they use AND their home page? Which browser do you want to be the default?

Do you use a JSS to image your systems using configurations?

I have a task that appears to be answered by Composer (or it should be) where I need to set the default web browser and home page for the end users at our location.  I configure my local admin account as I want it then launch Composer.  There is a tab for user environment elements and I click on that.  I select the internet config option which should have the settings I'm trying to influence and the package is created without error.

Now I send the package to a test computer and launch a web browser to check the settings.  Nothing has been transferred.  How do I edit elements of a user's web settings without wiping out everything?  I have considered using an Applescript or other type of script but the library for changing those items are slim.  Any help would be great.
