As was mentioned in another thread, Microsoft offers a solution that works with most versions of their OS called Steady State. You have to download and install some software from MS first, then create some settings and users, but for all your efforts you are rewarded with a rock solid Windows OS environment. The best part of Steady State is that all you do is reboot and you are back to a clean slate. Check it out at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/pro...s/default.mspx

@Freedog:
I apologize for the late reply; somehow I didn't get a notification when you replied. Just downloaded SteadyState. If it does only 60% of what MS promises it is what I looked for. Thanks for the tip. |
