This is a solved problem, assuming you're willing to invest in the
appropriate infrastructure. Many school systems use a product called "Deep
Freeze" (http://www.faronics.com/), or something similar, which prevents any
long-term changes to be saved onto the workstation in question. Other
environments use imaging software, or virtualization, to get to the same
place.
