In fact I have heard of a system that auto reloads an image each
midnight or so - I don't remember what that was.
Hopefully the friend is using the obvious things like: bios password,
only boot HD, locking network access to specific mac address, etc,
disabling auto-run of cd/usb, etc.
About the vmware notion: In the ms way, a powerful machine could be
installed as a terminal server. Remove the hard disks from the student
machines. Network boot the PC's to an linux LTSP server. Only one
application would be available / installed: tsclient {Terminal Server
Client}.
Install a master power switch that feeds all the student PC's. At the
end of each class, ask the students to save their work {to their linux
network drive}. Then cycle the power. Machines BIOS set to auto restart
on mains application - in 3 minutes every machine has a spanking fresh
image loaded. That can only connect to the terminal server {which is
properly locked down}.
It might also be possible to config your storage file system to allowing
save of only the document types that you actually need -
script. Of course, that was not resetting the OS, but if the OS were in
VM ware, the script could copy the entire directory, then reboot the
machine. Wouldn't that work?
