- reasonable memory usage, 2 processes use roughly 8MB of RAM, no slowdown whatsoever.

- requires lots of reboot, enable==>reboot, disable==>reboot.

- wont work for trialware that require reboot, becoz after a reboot it's all gone.

- i will keep it as reboot is much faster than making a new image with TI.

Yep: I installed it, but I don't think I'm going to give it a good going over... There are a few too many reboots!

The concept is great, and I originally thought that this would be a great way to stop the kids installing stuff on my computer (without locking them out), but it's not quite like that.

I've since taken the interest this generated and am looking at http://www.sandboxie.com/, which seems to do more of what I want.
