Microsoft Shared Computer Toolkit

Microsoft created the Shared Computer Toolkit to help make shared computers more reliable and less time-consuming to maintain. Unlike personal computers, shared computers are:

Even though it's targeted at untrusted shared users, I could see this being very useful in my house.
