   @michaelblight – As you say, it creates a mirror profile, but implementing changes is also easy and ideal for a shared environment where changes can be quickly undone

   Windows SteadyState is absolute rubbish. I have been developing software for 30 years and have rarely seen something this bad. At its simplest, you have a mirror of the profile that every time you log on, the system copies the mirror over the original. In reality you want to turn it off and on so you can make modest changes to the profile. Then it all goes horribly wrong and you get into a deadlock where you can no longer edit the profile. Stay away!

   @MrDrwhoforever – Nice one. It was just a thought if you use it on Windows 7
   Happy New Year

   @MrDrwhoforever – Use RevoUnunstaller to uninstall your game trial, use the Advanced Mode and delete only the BOLD entries, you should then be able to reinstall the game

   from what i have read online they do not plan to add support for Windows 7 anytime soon as for my game trial the 30 day trial starts again every day i’ve checked

    @ MrDrwhoforever – Sadly, at present it does not support Windows 7. I have Win 7 Pro and use the virtual machine with XP Pro which allows ‘undo’ or ‘apply’ changes which suits me as I download malware frequently

    @ MrDrwhoforever – What OS are you using it on? And have you set the restrictions as outlined in the video?

    @ MrDrwhoforever – You will if you select ‘Continue and remove all changes’ when rebooting or closing down. If you need to save some changes, uninstall the game with revouninstaller first – it’s also free

    yewtubepl0x – yes I do use it, that way I can import malware and clear it simply by rebooting
    Every program I test I use for a while to see how it reacts, apart from malware when I look for solutions to remove it
