I'll have more to say on this later, but for now I've got to add a couple of comments...

You need the enterprise version of Deep Freeze! No trip to the computer, you can shutdown and restart from any machine with the enterprise console installed. There is no limit on the number of consoles you can install at your site, once you have rights to use it. With only 10 computers in my lab, I would not want to live without the enterprise version! I was very happy with Deep Freeze before I switched to SteadyState. > Also worthwhile knowing: Microsoft apparently has no plans to > continue development of Steady State.

If you have any interest in SteadyState at all, please stop by TechNet and add your vote for SteadyState on Windows 7. I am currently dragging my feet on updating our public computers to Win 7 in hope that they will relent before I have to move. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/windowssteadystate/thread/8ddff48e-aa90-4bf3-9b5a-4b11b02906bb There are quite a few people unhappy with this decision. http://www.windowssecrets.com/2010/04/08/01-Microsoft-decision-puts-public-libraries-at-risk At least there are still a couple of years left before XP becomes unsupported, and you can still get XP for public computers from Tech Soup. (It was still listed Tuesday when I looked...) Rick
