Does anyone know of an app for Windows XP that when you log off/ shut
down it will return the system to its previous state, including removing
all newly created files? Basically like ghosting the drive with no user
intervention?

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

HI Jeff,
Umm I think you can do something to that effect with Acronis using the
task scheduling functions in it. Don't have the ability to test that
atm. Is this something you want to do every time you boot?
What sort of craziness are you up to that you need to do that?

Chris

Chris,

Have customers that are Hotel people. Putting these in business
centers. They want to have it blow anything anyone has done when
theysat down at it and return it to the previous state. I've hear dof
some schools doing the same, but haven't got a line on what they're using.

You don't even have to wait for a reboot for that, you can just
go to your Internet Explorer "Advanced Settings" tab (under
the "Tools" dropdown menu up top) and go down to the "Security"
section & check the box that says "Empty Temporary Internet
Files folder when browser is closed", and also the box that
syas "Do not save encrypted pages to disk". Then post a little
sign on the frame of the computer screen that says: "For your
security, make sure you close browser when done."

Neil,

Good idea...looking to do that for the whole machine though, not just
internet traffic. All registry changes that could happen, files created
or modified (IE word docs). Basically want the boot drive to be the
equivalent of "reimaged" after each user.
