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
- Lock the Wallpaper
In addition you probably want to disable Screen Power Management / Sleep.
