Public computer usage and security tips

Need some advice on how to lock down computers used for public access—basically an internet cafe setup where it's mostly kids gaming, but you always get those users who try to install random stuff or end up downloading a virus...
So, I'm looking for a way to set up all 10 machines so that when they shut down, they basically "reset" back to their original state. I want all traces of usage wiped clean. I've seen this happen in some school computer labs where as soon as you log out, everything you did just vanishes, like you were never even there...

I'm working with an HP Pavilion All-in-One.

Thanks

Local schools and universities rely on Veritas System Recovery to make sure everything resets to its original state every time the computer reboots.
It’s honestly top-tier software, but man, it isn't cheap.

To start off, you could just strip admin rights from users so nobody can go installing random stuff anyway.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Any idea what that software actually runs for? Trying to look it up on my phone is a total pain. Honestly, no matter the price tag, it feels way more worth it than having to run over every other day just to fix some random junk. I don't even know what people are doing on these machines—it feels like every forty-eight hours they've picked up some malware or some other absolute nonsense.

The Admin account got wiped from all the rigs, but even that didn't really solve much. At first, I was just doing the usual OS reinstalls, but once things started going south, I had to grab an extra SSD to act as the "original." Now I just use Paragon for migrations (luckily all the machines are identical), but then I went on vacation and everything hit the fan. Since I wasn't around, I had to pay some local kid to handle the reinstalls. It just proves that this program is probably the best move for everyone.

That’s 45 bucks per computer.

Is that monthly or yearly?

I'm pretty sure the license is permanent and comes with a year of support included.

I mean, honestly? That’s pretty solid, at least if you ask me. Given how things are looking right now, it'd probably pay off in a few months anyway.

World communications is the official distributor for Faronics software here in the States. Just reach out to them with all the details of what you're looking for, and they'll be able to give you an exact quote.

Zero points from them, and I haven't heard a single word back in days...

Maybe just hit them up in person at their headquarters?

I mean, I have to wonder... what kind of serious tech firm actually leaves an email sitting there for five days without a word?
But hey, maybe they’re just drowning in work or something.
