Need a way to reset a profile between reboots or logons

[Shrum]

I'm setting up PCs that will be in a kiosk-esk style setup. I want to be able to reboot (or logoff/logon) to the PC with a standard account and have the profile be recreated

Another way to think of it: a fat-client acting like a thin-client.

Is there a way to have a profile reset (or deleted) so that when the PC is rebooted (and autologged in), the profile gets recreated.

Sorta like when XP can't read your profile and therefore makes the \TEMP profile. You can work but none of your settings are saved.

TIA

Two options here

1) Assign a fixed profile as per

2) Add delprof.exe to a shutdown or startup script, must be run as an administrative user. If your user will be a non admin user you could use my RunAsUser application to assist with running delprof.exe as an admin.
