restore on reboot

[Andy]

Is there anyway to automatically make XP go to a restore point when
rebooted?

I want to make it so that when the computer is switched off and on
again the system is exactly the same each time.

I've looked at drive image 2002 and norton ghost but I dont think that
they have this feature.


thanks

Andy

I think you may be confused about what System Restore does.

For what you describe you'll need something like DeepFreeze or GoBack in
Kiosk mode.

Hi Andy,

System Restore can't do that. And it was not designed to do so. It doesn't monitor every
file on the system.

Deep freeze sounds like what I was looking for
