Here is an example of how to achieve common Windows environment settings that are useful for public computer usage.
This is not a comprehensive list and will not result in a secure environment like a linux-based Groovix installation.
As part of the Groovix windows client installation steps you should have this file:
C:\ProgramData\Groovix\Scripts\groovix-user-environment-config.bat
which you can run as administrator to set common configuration items like disabling maintenance notifications, restricting power and user switching options, etc.
If you want to use a simple insecure method to reset Windows between users follow these steps:
- Save/Update The Public User Environment
- Copy C:\ProgramData\Groovix\Scripts\groovix-wipe-on-startup.bat into
C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Scripts\Startup
- Click Start and type ‘Edit group policy’
In the left pane expand Computer Configuration
Expand Windows Settings
Click ‘Scripts (Startup/Shutdown)’
In right pane, double-click Startup
Click ‘Add…’ Button
Click ‘Browse...’
You should see groovix-wipe-on-startup.bat
Click Open
Click OK
Click OK
