Name of app? Snapshot of windows
A year or so back, someone posted a program for XP only I think that allowed you to "pause" the windows partition in its current state. Then any changes you make (install software/get a virus) are not saved and it reverts back to it's original state after a reboot.
I've had a quick search but had no luck finding the name of this program. Last edited by Simmy; 10-09-2009 at 08:22 AM.

That's the kind of thing I'm after. The one I'm thinking of was free though.

Windows SteadyState, the newer version of their "Shared Computer Toolkit" does a similar sort of thing - for both XP and Vista, although it's most likely overkill if you just wanted the functionality you described.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/pro...rotection.mspx ... and it's free!

Thanks for the reference. This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for to set up my rental laptops. [for those clients who absolutely positively have to have internet access while their computer is in my shop].

A customers laptop infected my USB stick and then I infected my laptop with it. It's odd because it didn't effect Windows 7, but as soon as I stuck it into my XP laptop it went mental! (I've since got an SD card and SD>USB converter so my files are write protected).
I'm hoping sandboxie will prevent this from happening in the future, but I don't think it works in the way I thought it did.
