Hi

I'm looking for an application that can bring my guest account to the previous state every time I restart/logout.
Dock item, desktop folder, applications, pictures, etc.. The hole thing, basically.
Why? I have kids playing with my computer and since I know they WILL ask me to restore everything, it would same me A LOT of time...

Does anyone know suck kind of application?

You don't need an application. That's the whole point of the Guest account in Leopard and Snow Leopard. Do a search for "guest account" in Mac Help to find out about setting it up and how to use it.

It is? I must confess I've NEVER used the guest account. I thought it was just a limited access account and since I've eared the has an app that did that...

I'll try it, than. Thanks!
