Description
Allowing the system administrator to easily create a custom 'shared access' account that can have any features turned on or off, and returns to it's original state each time it's logged out of.

For example one group of users may need a certain set of applications,such as programming or graphics, while another may only need access to internet applications. Showing only the applications needed for the certain group would eliminate confusion for users.

Returning the account to it's original state after every log off would eliminate most trouble shooting problems for the administrator.

This would be useful in class rooms, libraries, or shared home computers with elderly or young users.

This is really Microsoft's idea. (SteadyState) For a better idea of what this idea is about please go to their site. (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/sharedaccess/default.mspx )
