Hi everybody;

I remember reading on TechNet ahwile back about a way that you could setup a
"kiosk" version of Windows so that when a User logs on any changes made to
the hard drive including settings, temporary Internet files, etc., are wiped
clean when they log off.

I am wondering if this tool (or procedure?) will work on a standalone
Windows XP Pro client where I have several standard user accounts what I want
to keep the way they are but create a new "geust" account that would wipe
itself clean at every log off. (The existing accounts would not be modified,
they could add/modify files and data)

Does anyone know how I could do this?

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply but this is not what I am looking for. DeepFreeze is a
technology that secures an entire workstation. I am looking for a solution
that secures only a single user account. This way, other users (standard
users, administrators) can save files and modify data.

I am sure the technology I read about was made by Microsoft.

Possibly you are referring to the Microsoft Shared Computer Toolkit:

You can also use Doug Knox's Security Console:
