Back in the mid 2000s, Microsoft released a tool to configure Windows computers for use in net cafés, public libraries, and other places where a system would see multiple users throughout the day. It was called Windows SteadyState, and it's what we're talking a look at today!
SteadyState 2.5: archive.org/details/SteadyState

00:59 - Installation

When I took an accounting class, we had Windows XP machines with a program called Deep Freeze. Basically, the admin would set up the PC, then enable the program to 'freeze' it in it's current state, similar to SteadyState. The problem was the IT guy installed Office and whatever programs but didn't run the initial setup, so we were forced to go through the initial setup each and ever time. Eventually the IT guy updated the PCs to stop this, but he left the Deep Freeze unlock tool on my PC. Safe to say I found it. With my new found power, I remembered that great power, came great responsibility. So I made sure to install Unreal Tournament, Quake 3 and C&C: Red Alert 2 on most of the PCs in the back. 🤣

I had no idea Microsoft offered their own solution for internet cafes. The only kind of internet cafe software I've seen irl was something clearly third-party. It definitely replaced the desktop with its own menu system, iirc it also removed the taskbar, and allowed remote management over the network. So when you paid at the counter, the admin would remotely activate a machine for you, and it would automatically deactivate and reset once your time is up. It would also display warnings when your time was about to run out.

In the late 2000's I used to go to brussels net cafés. Most computers were using a pirated version of Windows XP, some clearly filled with malware. All computer would be different (they mostly used spare parts). You definitely wouldn't want to do anything serious on there (eg: plug a USB key or login to some website). On the bright side, it was extremely cheap (eg: you would pay 1 EUR / hour or something like that)

Lol we bought an expensive license for „iProtector“ way back in the days 2004 which we used for a looooong time then. „Configuration“ of it was way simpler tho. It just also reset all the changes on the hard drive while restarting the pc. Since users didn’t even see the system tray they didn’t even notice that. Also most of the other settings were done through the inetcafe software we used, for example hiding drives and a loooot of system policies. I we just knew about this software.

I remember that in school in the 2000s, I had a registry file that disabled all the settings the IT admin had put on the computers. I had my own for a while, but because I became friends with him, he gave me his. He said, "You know how to do everything this does, so here's mine." Sometime later, when my friend told the school district to shove it, I had my computer with me to play games while I worked in the tech center, and using FTP to a game server, the school router would crash, and that time I couldn't power cycle it so I lost my job in the tech center despite finding a major problem.

They actually had the computers set up where I could go to any website that I wanted to and download whatever I needed to (until the time limit of course). Another difference is that they customized the login screen and actually required you to put your library card number in to login but otherwise using their computers was really similar to this! I was wondering how they did it and this video definitely answered my question! 😉💻👌

You couldn't delete the cache file because NTOSKRNL was using it- SteadyState (like the rest of its kind) installs a driver to do it's work, that way you can't remove mission-critical files (to the software package) while Windows is booted. This also explains how it knows about half of the things you're doing, and can force you out of the user profile.

The cache file is sort of like snapshots, although snapshots do not use a single file to save the changed versions. ZFS on Linux and *BSD lets you create snapshots of the filesystem and then revert back to them later. It is typically a manual process to revert back, but the snapshots can be created either manually or automatically through a cron job. I think MacOS has something similar now. I do not know whether modern Windows has a similar feature.

20:00 This service basic form is also included in HP ThinClients 5720. I believe way it works is simple just as Antivirus uses FileHook, WindowHook and KeyboardHook included in WinAPI available for any app. SteadyState is hooked in between application and OS, and it's caching modifications and caching deletions. It's checking name of window you are clicking. Technically it might spy on you i know because many years ago wrote spy using these. Every click, every key every menu clicked. Such app is able to hijack. WindowBlinds in era of WIndows 95 also used such hook to modify way how window looked. It does not modify contents of HDD, it only stores you actions and everytime app is asking for specific file it's checking cache. So cache do not store original files. It does store almost exactly as Virtual PC saves modifications of VHD.

Was there anything like this for older systems like ME/2000 or 98? Or were those too early for the concept of internet cafes to really be a widespread thing?

Does a modern version of similar software exist for, for example, Window 11?

Is there any modern software that works exactly like steady-state? All the stuff beyond the restoring earlier state after use. Kinda curious to mess with smth like that sometime, tho not a fan of GPE. It looks like it also unified a lot of relevant settings that are all over Windows into one place for the purpose, too.

I would visit some internet cafe's when travelling in Asia as a teenager. By the time I was done updating the browser ect, the time was almost up. Then I had to do the same process all over again the next day. 💀

You should try one of those file unlockers and see if it can unlock that cache file to allow it to be deleted. See if they're using something stronger than that to lock it out.

I remember a system for Linux (maybe Windows too) that came before the operating system and would boot the OS from a read-only disk image. Open source and promoted for libraries but I can't remember the name.

9:01 Modifying this text would have been definitely useful, another use case would be using this in another country where you might change it to another language.
