Windows Environment Settings

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
