Hi,

This question is slightly off topic, but since many of you work with
public access PCs, I thought the answer might be out there. 

There is a piece of software for Macintoshes named Assimilator that
allows you to make all workstations look the same.
It works as described below. Text below quoted from the Assimilator web
page: http://mwn.net/infomac/disk/assimilator-100.html
 
"Assimilator is designed for Macintosh lab situations where you want to
make all the harddisk's in a lab look almost identical. When the
Assimilator program is run on a lab Macintosh it will mount an
AppleShare file server and then make the harddisk look more or less
exactly like a pre-specified source folder on the server.  It does this
by throwing away (into the Trash) any files or folders that don't belong
or are different and downloading any missing files.  Icon positions,
folder views, finder flags and so forth are all corrected on the client
Macintosh to match the source folder. "

Does anyone know of  a product for Win95 or NT PCs that has a similar
objective? 

Thanks very much.
