Yet another reason to use Deep Freeze; it wipes out all cache/cookies
when the computer is restarted.  Our systems allow the user to restart,
so if they want to remove their traces, they just restart the computer
when they are done.  Obviously what you're talking about is simpler
since it cleans the machine when exiting the browser, but for me it
wouldn't be worth the extra time and money.
