As @Frantique's answer indicates, it's possible but not very probable ;) – izx Jun 14 '12 at 9:09
@BrunoPereira surely you meant l33t and not "pro" :P – izx Jun 14 '12 at 9:09

  • Short answer: No, you can't with one click!

WARNING: The below option may lead to an unbootable Windows 7 installation - use at your own risk.

  • Long answer: theoretically you can create the folders manually and add the registry keys to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList with wine's regedit. For this you have to make some research how Windows is creating users, and what it needs to be functional. I don't recommend this through. (This is just a theory, I have not tested it!)
