Designed to Protect Public Access
Computers
Clean Slate is designed to protect public access computers from malicious
or inexperienced users. While not restricting users’ activities,
Clean Slate will scour drives back to their original state upon reboot
or log off. Clean Slate takes only minutes to install and needs no
attention, ever, for most installations. Clean Slate restores the
computer to its original configuration, no matter what users have
done: including erasing files, installing software, downloading viruses
and Trojan horses, and altering icons.
Clean Slate is easy yet powerful. Administrators, by password, can
specify individual drives or directories that are not to be covered
by Clean Slate, allowing persistent changes in some areas on the disk.
Additionally, administrators can view all changes made and specify
which changes should be undone on reboot and which should be committed
as permanent changes.
Clean Slate is ideal for a computer learning environment. For example,
in a setting where users are being taught to alter the appearance
or behavior of Windows, Clean Slate allows changes to be made to
the system which are simply undone when the machine is rebooted
or a user logs off.
Clean Slate actually prevents the original files from being modified.
Instead, it caches all changes in a special area that is hidden
and protected from the users. When the machine is rebooted or a
user logs off, Clean Slate merely erases the cached changes.
