Clean new installation on computer shutdown

[Xavier22792]

Hi, this may seem a little weird but I would like to do like at the school when u installed for instance a game ... when u close computer it removes it and removes any new installations. I would like to do the same thing on my computer cause sometime, other family member use it and install some stuff and I would like not have to clean all the stuff they installed, etc. Is it possible? well I know it is but how can i do it? Thanks a lot

There's a Microsoft tool that does something like that. You have to set up another user account for it but it can put pretty heavy restrictions on it like disallowing right click or executables. It can also remove any changes - that'll do stuff like change backgrounds back or delete any saved files. You can also block websites, block installed software from them, impose a time limit before it logs itself out. If I remember what it's called I'll post the name of it. I don't know if it works with Vista though. Are you on XP?

Control Panel - Parental Controls

On the bottom there you can Install additional Controls

Duh I forgot about that program. Make sure you know what ur doing with that program though as you can do harm with it.

I've remembered what the Microsoft one's called! It's called Windows SteadyState and it seems pretty powerful.
