The default speed of the Mighty Mouse seems painfully slow to me.

I know that I can type something like this in Terminal --
defaults write -globalDomain com.apple.mouse.scaling -float 5.

I already used that command for my own account to speed up the mouse past what the user interface allows.

However, the change only affects my account. So, when a guest logs into the guest account, the mouse returns to its normal slow acceleration.

My question is...can I do something similar to the above command to set the default mouse speed permanently for the guest account, so that the next time a guest logs in, the mouse would be faster?
