It is very likely that it is possible to do this. Most control panel
applications store the results of their GUI setup in the registry. If you can
determine what registry keys have been added/changed. Here is an open source
registry compare utility that might help:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/regshot
You can then use the _winreg module to make such changes on a new machine.
HTH,
