[WEB4LIB] Computer labs...controlling programs that can be run

[Alma E. Garcia]

Last summer we opened up a Bibliographic Instuction Room that on weekends
is open to students as a "lab".  We are using Deep Freeze from WinSelect
to keep the destktop just the way we want them.  You can find out more at
www.winselect.com

We have not had any problems with this software.  If something gets
changes a reboot takes the PC back to the configuration  we want.  It does
make the reboot run a little slow, but it has done the trick for us in our
setting.
