Microsoft's SteadyState is available for Vista so if that's working for
your XP installations you've already a free tool with which you are
familiar!

Hello,

 

Our library is thinking about putting Vista on a Public computer for our
patrons to explore and learn about.  Is there any way to lock down the
computer so that the patrons can't mess up the computer, but they can
explore all of the features that Vista has to offer?  I was thinking of
something like Deep Freeze, but we just can't afford it.  Is there
another program out there that does the same thing, but doesn't have the
expensive price tag with it?  We are currently using SteadyState on our
XP computers.  

 

Thanks,
