[Web4lib] Security Software and writing to hard drives on public stations

[Bridge, Frank]

Hello Everyone--

This takes up on a recent thread regarding the blocking of executables
from USB based flash drives, CD-ROM's etc.  

Do you allow customers to write data files (non-executables ) to a
protected location of the hard drive of your public computers?  

If so, why?  If not, why not?  

I would think that many libraries would permit customers to use the hard
drive as a temporary data storage location, particularly when running
with products like DeepFreeze.

Thanks.

Frank
