Default hotel guests

I manage guest computers at hotels. I would like to use the Virtual PC and
automatically erase any changes a guest has made to a pc when they log off.
Can I do that? How do I do that?

Hi,

If you're referring to Microsoft Virtual PC, open the Virtual PC Console,
highlight the VPC in question and click on Settings.

Click on Undo Disks and put a check next to "Enable undo disks".

Now in the Virtual PC Console click on File - Options - Security to set
security options.

A better solution would be something like Deep Freeze by Faronics.

You may not need to use a virtual machine environment. You may want to
investigate one of Microsoft's latest security products, free, Windows
Steady State.
