Change default search in IE8 for new user

[Brazen]

Is there any way to set the default search provider to Google for new users. I know how to open IE8 and change the default search provider for the current user, but I want to make sure that any new users get google as the default search provider the first time they open IE8.

In face I would be happy to set the answers to all the questions in that first-run wizard and get rid of the wizard for new users altogether.

I guess the only option is to customize somehow the installer. just like using nLite for customizing a windows installer. I haven;t done it bu i guess it can be done.

Yeah, it looks like I can use IEAK 8 to create a new installer with the customizations I want. I was hoping maybe there could just be an ini file I could edit or some registry changes. I guess I'll see how this IEAK 8 goes.

You getting paid by Google or something? Seriously though. If it matters that much to them, they will select it from the wizard on the 1st launch.
