    Cool Windows SteadyState

    What is Windows SteadyState?

    Share computers, not headaches


    What state is your shared computer in at the end of the day?
    • Hard disk filled with downloaded files?
    • Strange options configured?
    • Programs installed that you don't want?
    • System infected with viruses and spyware?
    • Computer bogged down for unknown reasons?


    Ever wish you could undo everything?
    You can't always prevent problems during a user session, but now you can undo the whole session. Learn how Windows SteadyState can return your computer and hard disk to its exact condition before the user touched it, simply by rebooting.

    Lock down your user interface
    Users sometimes go places and do things they shouldn't on shared machines. Now you can help protect sensitive locations and restrict user access to features such as Control Panel.

    Windows SteadyState, successor to the Shared Computer Toolkit, is designed to make life easier for people who set up and maintain shared computers.

    An easy way to manage multiple users
    You can manage whole groups of users as single user accounts. The new Windows SteadyState console makes it easier than ever to create and modify user profiles.

    A locked-down platform for stable shared computing
    Not every computer user should have access to every software capability. Your system can be more stable and consistent when you limit user access to control panel functions, network resources, and other sensitive areas.

    Set it and forget it
    Once you have everything set up the way you want it, you can share the computer and rest easy. Any changes a user might make to the configuration or hard disk can be undone by simply restarting the machine.
    more information at microsoft website, version 2.5 is availabe for download to genuine windows users

    to whom that familiar with deepfreeze, this one is for you :p

    advantages over deepfreeze:
    • retain disk changes temporarily over restart
    • user profiles
    • it's from microsoft, the one that created the os, and it's free


    i have tested it and it working great :)

    A simple Backup of a running system is much more usefull imo.
    Sometimes its nessesary to play around with something wich requires rebooting.
    With a backup you can play around and make everything without worrying technical borders.
    If one of this
    * Hard disk filled with downloaded files?
    * Strange options configured?
    * Programs installed that you don't want?
    * System infected with viruses and spyware?
    * Computer bogged down for unknown reasons?
    Is bothering you, yust play in the Backup, and everything works fine again.
    If not, just play along.

    actually the application is just like that but without actually have to backup anything. it used disk protection system that not like volume shadow copy or windows restore but almost like virtualization in emulated system. you can discard or commit changes on your disk even after restarting.

    Sounds a useful tool & for sure way better than DeepFreeze which just sucked back then when I was using it filling my HDD with useless temp files ...

    DeepFreeze is also really easy to bypass:



    The app is 99KB and doesn't require installation nor the DF password.
