MS: Microsoft Shared Computer Toolkit
The Shared Computer Toolkit for Windows was designed to help administrators better manage and secure public computers, such as those in kiosks, libraries, Internet cafes, schools, etc. But the toolkit is useful for any situation in which multiple persons use the same computer, including family computing and small business offices where several employees must use the same machine. This article shows you how to get and use the toolkit, which is in beta testing at the time of this writing.
The Toolkit does not run on XP Media Center Edition or XP Pro 64x Edition. It does run on Tablet PC Edition.

MS: How to Run Internet Explorer 7.0 BETA Without Installing It
If you want to test IE7 without the risk of installing a beta software, here is a simple way to do it. This method does not install IE 7 the usual way- instead you just run it from the installer package and hence your system does not get littered with beta dlls all over the place.
1. Download IE7 beta from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie7/default.mspx. Save the file at a location from where you want to run it. For example C:\IE7Beta
2. Right click the file and select "Extract Here" option from the Winzip/WinRAR context menu.
3. Once all the files are extracted, find the file named "shlwapi.dll" and delete it.
4. Create a file by name "IEXPLORE.exe.local". Make sure that it does not have the .txt extension. [Go to Tools-> Folder Options -> View -> uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types".]
5. Launch iexplore.exe from the same folder and verify that it works.
6. Right click on iexplore.exe and select "Send To...-> Desktop (Create Shortcut)".
This method also helps in running both IE7 and IE6 side-by-side! A great help for web designers. To uninstall, just delete the folder where you extracted the installation package!
