If you were looking to do something like this, couldnt you simply create a user on the computer that does not have write access to the windows\ and windows\system32 directories? I remember doing this on a windows2000 machine, with a decent firewall this can prove to be relatively stable, I also know there is a way to run windows entirely off of cd, I have done this with 98 , Here is the link to a page about this http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ I believe that page is about doing this with win2k or xp. I am not sure, however I do believe making a stable copy of xp with a ghosting program would be the easiest, or simply a good firewall and quit using ie, try opera or firefox or something..

@H4RRY: I did search for free partition backup tool while I was writting it, but no luck. Personally, I recommend Ghost 8.0 for that purpose.

@rush: Thanks. I remember there was some kind of PCI card do the same thing. Anyway, I must keep something to do to keep my job.

i think u should replace the partition backup tool with some kind of ghosting tool(e.g. Norton Ghost). i think there’re plenty of opensource ghosting tool out there. nice idea. maybe u should patent it….

Hi.. there’s software out there designed to do exactly this. Take a look at Rapid Restore at http://www.xpoint.com.

I can get you evaluation copies of the software if you are keen.
