Basicly no. The Default User profile (especially it's registry hive NTUser.DAT)
is not that easily accessible. It is only used when a new user who does not have
a profile yet, logs into the system for the first time (or anytime a member of the
GUEST groups logs into the system). The DEFAULT branch visible under HKEY_USERS 
is not related to the Default User profile.
