Have you ever let a friend or neighbor use your computer, then come back to it and found that he has changed your desktop wallpaper, the way your icons are sorted, or shown the hidden files on your system? We don’t want to be rude and tell them never to change anything again. And, by the same token, we don’t want to keep our friends from borrowing our computer when they’re at the house.
Windows 7 has come up with a solution for this problem called PC Safeguard. It’s a feature that restores your Windows settings when you log off and log back in. To activate it, follow these steps:
- Click the Windows button and select the Control Panel
- Select User Accounts
- Create a new account and select Set Up PC Safeguard
Now, you can rest at ease when company comes over and wants to borrow your PC.
