How do I set preferences for student accounts in iMacs in high school lab?

I would like to setup preferences for all users so they don't have to setup themselves. Examples: System Preferences -> Mouse - right click secondary button; turn off Sound when volume key is pressed;

at Finder preferences - Show all items at Desktop and Home in the Favorites; Global Microsoft Office install for all users - so each user doesn't have to install every time they log in at a different computer.

Connect to Server option - script?

thank you for any and all assistance.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

Do note that I can't find a comparable manual for user management for Lion. However, http://www.apple.com/business/resources/ might lead you something dealing with the new Lion server.
