‘Managing shared computers can be difficult, technically challenging, time-consuming, & expensive. & what’s more, without technique restrictions & protections, users can inadvertently modify the desktop appearance, reconfigure technique settings, & introduce undesirable program, viruses, & other harmful programs. Repairing damaged shared computers can need significant hard work & time…Windows SteadyState provides a more effective way to help defend shared computers from changes by untrusted users & undesirable program installations.’

SteadyState for Windows XP is a free program from Microsoft that helps be sure your computer settings are kept the way you require, irrespective of who makes use of the computer. It is ideal for schools, libraries, web cafes or someone who shares the same PC. Here is the run down from Microsoft:

Specifically, SteadyState offers the following:
Windows Disk Protection Help protect the Windows partition, which contains the Windows operating technique & other programs, from being modified without administrator approval.
Windows Disk Protection helps protect the Windows operating technique & all files on the computer from permanent modify. Any changes made by shared users when they are logged on to the computer are removed when the computer is restarted.
