It isn't really meant for use on a main computer. More for computers that are publicly available and that you want to be able to tightly restrict and then restore after each user. It works very well for that. Windows 7 even uses a bit of this technology for their Guest account. When you log on as a guest to a Windows 7 machine, changes you make get wiped out when you log off. A very nice feature. Microsoft states very clearly that this is not uninstallable. It isn’t really meant for use on a main computer.

IT IS NOT UNINSTALLABLE. Incredible but true. So be very very very sure you want it. MS still makes cr*p like this, so i'm thinking Windows 7....

But, I don't like how it acts. Can you tell me how to uninstall it, considering that I am only a retired person & not expert in computer language? I tried to uninstall it but it wasn't listed on my Control Panel's "Add/Delete Programs" page. I managed to turn off the control aspect of the program, but still have this additional sign-in feature on Start Up that really bugs me. I have looked at a great many posts through 'Google' on SteadyState, but while many indicate it can be deleted or uninstalled, none say how to do it. Thanks.
