    mint software. i use it on vista home premium sp1. runs flawless. i think alot of this code will be in windows 7. windows 7 will have this protection stuff built in, (read it on downloadsquad.com). so long acronis true image, so long returnil virtual system, so long deep freeze.

    Reviewing 2.5 Beta (Nov 16, 2007)

    Hi Gang,

    I haven't used this v2.5 beta which ostensibly only ads support for Vista. On XP home with v2.0 they never got it working right in the first place. Once you've locked settings down the same checkboxes fail to unlock those settings. If someone does try v2.5 on XP Home please let me know if this seems to have been fixed.

    Thanks,
    Christian Blackburn

    This is a very useful tool for shared or public computers running Windows XP. It provides a very thorough interface for applying user and system restrictions, allowing for much more control over group policy editing and manual registry configuration. This used to be called the Microsoft Shared Computer Toolkit, but was renamed at version 2, though not all bugs have been corrected.
