Like Mac's guest account how can you set up Vista to when the guest
account is logged off everything under that account is clear? Leaving
no data no nothing.

You can't do this in Vista (you apparently will be able to do this in
Windows 7), nor should you be using the Guest account for this. You will
need third-party software or look into using Microsoft's free SteadyState.
Create a new Standard user called something like "Visitor" for this
purpose.

The disk protection mode thing can it be set up for just one user or
does it remove all data for all users? "Protect the hard disk mode" is
what I am talking about.
