Get either the OSEF <http://harry.osef.org/~micros/knoppix.iso> or the
FreeDuc <http://www.ofset.org/projects/edusoft/edusoft.html> bootable
Linux CDs; they're both based on Knoppix, and have numerous programs for
children on them.  You can boot the computer from the CD and be in a
total Linux environment, without affecting the hard drive on the
computer at all.  When you shut it down and restart without the CD,
you'll be back in Windows (or whatever OS is on it).
