What is the step-by-step way to make a custom Windows 8 installation ?

For example, with a minimal example, I would like an image which :

  • Has a single user named "User"
  • This user has Chrome and Firefox installed
  • Has no link in the start screen except the desktop link
  • Has no buttons on the task bar

I have tried to use sysprep but I lose user settings. The CopyProfile seems to apply Administrator's settings on programmaticaly created accounts, but does not preserve local users settings accross installations.
