1. Overview

Objective: Create a stable, self-resetting guest-like user account for public/shared use in a reading room or conference space.

How it works (we will use “Padilla Reading Room” throughout this guide):

  • A local account called "Padilla Reading Room" is created.
  • The user profile is automatically deleted on each system startup using DelProf2.exe, ensuring no user data is retained.
  • A Windows Scheduled Task runs this cleanup script with SYSTEM-level privileges.
