How can logged on user reset "Local Settings*.*" back to d..

Is there any way that a logged on user can reset the
entire "%userprofile%\Local Settings" folder back to
default? By first killing some process(es)? This is so
multiple consecutive users can use the same logged on user
account, but get a fresh start without a logoff/on. This
is necessary in order to use certain session timing
software.

I am not quite sure what your need is here but a user can change permissions
on any folder where he has full control or is the owner of the folder. If
you do not want them to change permissions then give them no more than
modify and remove them from ownership if they are the owner. If you have a
certain need for your application, give the group of users the needed
permissions to the folder. If the logged on user has proper permissions to
the folder and you need to change the permissions back to a certain
configuration, try to create a shorcut using fileacl to configure the
permissions to your needs. --- Steve

Not a permissions issue at all. It's a sharing violation or files in use by a process, namely .dat files and logs. I want my timing software to initiate a script that will overwrite the entire logged-on user's Local Settings folder, so that the next consecutive user seems to start with a fresh slate. I was wondering if I could do this by killing [what] processes, then overwriting the files, then restarting processes?

I have don't know if you can do it the way you want. There are free tools as
SysInternals that may help you try by identifying and killing processes. --- Steve
