After expanding variables, I was able to look for where
ProfileImagePath is equal to $USERPROFILE. YMMV.
I was able to come up with a short script that does the
equivalent of "mkpasswd -d -u $USERNAME" on my system.
However, I did not know what to do about the group
number. Based on my system and other e-mail I've seen,
I just hardcoded 513 for now, but that's probably not
universally correct. Is there any way to get that info
from the registry?

P.S. Here's the script I used. It's in Python, and only
works using the WINDOWS version right now since Cygwin
Python doesn't support the _winreg module.

users.append(User(masterkey,EnumKey(masterkey,userno)))
masterkey.Close()
profilePath = environ["USERPROFILE"]
userName = environ["USERNAME"]
userDomain = environ["USERDOMAIN"]
for user in users:
if user.profilePath == profilePath:
# Not clear what to use for group ID. Is 513 universally OK?
# This assumes you want your home directory in /home/userName
print ":".join([userName, \
