Here is one example on setting up a public computer from Microsoft: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/lock-down-windows-10-to-specific-apps

This is not a comprehensive list of settings 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 some common options including:

  • Hide Power Options ( to prevent shutdowns as opposed to reboots )
  • Disable Security And Maintenance Notifications
  • Restrict Software Install and Uninstall
  • Change Default Explorer View to this PC


In addition you probably want to disable Screen Power Management / Sleep.
