[OPLINTECH] Locking Down Vista

[Josh Proffit]

I think SteadyState works with Vista as well. (Someone feel free to bash me if I am wrong here) If you're already well versed in its configurations for XP, Vista's configuration would differ only slightly. You could always lock out a variety of features via the built in group policy.

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,
