You know, I don't think anyone actually answered the OP's original question. I know there is a way to run a script on shutdown - there is a hoop or two to jump through but it's possible. Couldn't you just delete the various user directories (desktop, documents, downloads, etc.) on shutdown? Then they would be recreated the next time you logged in. You could also schedule a shutdown for sometime after closing each day as well. It's not exactly a secure erase, but that wasn't the question posted. Just a thought.
I second this. My local library uses this. I haven't done anything for them for a few years and I wasn't the one who set it up, but I do recall that occasionally some piece of spyware would get past it and become permanent. I never really looked into why because they never asked me to.

this is realy what i need. people keep forgetting to delete their downloaded files, log off gmail and get out of their amazon account.
it creates problems as you can well imagine.
i script would be great and i dont need the freeze but i dont know enough to write the scrip.

so created a bat file that removes all files and chrome and ie history. it runs each time a user logs on.
any comments about this are welcome. Also since the user isnt an admin theres not much damage he can do.
del /s /q "C:\Users\User\Desktop\*.*"
del /s /q "C:\Users\User\Downloads\*.*"
del /s /q "C:\Users\User\Documents\*.*"
del /s /q "C:\Users\User\Music\*.*"
del /s /q "C:\Users\User\Pictures\*.*"
del /s /q "C:\Users\User\Videos\*.*"
rd /s /q "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome"
RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 4351

My accountant bought a laptop for clients to use and when I went in I found that the last client was still logged into something important. Tax information or bank account or something. I had to set Firefox to wipe all data on exit for him. People STILL don't know to log out of their accounts when they are using public computers.

No. Enjoy and improve on it. The whole point is helping each other.
back again,
while this batchfile does delete chrome history and all files it still has two problems,
1. it deletes all files but not folders
2. some users are quick to open chrome, before the batchfile deletes the history allowing them to see the previous users info.
any help with these two problems is GREATLY appreciated.
