Windows SteadyState

Sometimes we encounter situations where multiple users need to share a single computer. This may be a computer at work, in a public place or in a school. The goal of the administrator of the shared computer is to ensure that this computer is in a stable state and can be reused without further intervention.

Microsoft created the Shared Computer Toolkit to help make shared computers more reliable and save administrators time spent on maintenance. The new version of the product has been renamed Windows SteadyState (US), and new features make it even easier for computer administrators to deploy the product.
