[Libs-Or] fortres, deep freeze or...

[dan cawley]

To secure our public access computers, we have been using
Fortres products for six years, beginning with version 5.0 to the latest, 6.5.  
The old saying is true…familiarity breeds contempt.  It has taken 60+ emails to their tech support
department just to create a desktop folder icon allowing patrons to save files.
This entailed a rebuild, assorted coding inserts, registry
permission changes, and the issue remains to be resolved.
In April, XP PRO goes away and we will be upgrading to a
different operating system (possibly WIN 7 PRO).  
Is there a friendlier security system out there?  DeepFreeze has been mentioned in previous
discussions.
Before we load clunky old Fortres, any input on a different,
more-effcient, more user-friendly, product would be greatly appreciated.  Any and all responses are welcomed, on or
off-board.
 
Thank you,
