David, that is my plan to use Deep Freeze. The user starts the session by logging on to Windows and when s/he finishes the session, the PC reboots and restores the image.

Reboot Restore Rx is essentially a free version of Deep Freeze, so would recommend that and some accompanying GPO depending on what/if you want to lock down.

Hi,<br />
I am looking for some software to use on general use PC's like those in an internet cafe.<br />
I need the &quot;session software&quot; to show the user two options - <br />
START &nbsp;SESSION (or similar) - This should Windows and all the programs.<br />
END SESSION (or similar) This MUST reboot the PC<br />
<br />
The sessions should be have a countdown timer (Eg 30 minutes use) but I do not need any credit or payment options.<br />
The PC's are going to be free to use.

Hi,
I am looking for some software to use on general use PC's like those in an internet cafe.
I need the "session software" to show the user two options - 
START  SESSION (or similar) - This should Windows and all the programs.
END SESSION (or similar) This MUST reboot the PC

The sessions should be have a countdown timer (Eg 30 minutes use) but I do not need any credit or payment options.
The PC's are going to be free to use.

Windows timed-session software

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.

Software

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Windows OS

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.
