Most users would be very afraid of pressing that button, and thus afraid even of opening that dialogue - just in case. The problem with them thinking it is permanent is that they'll realise that they might want something else someday :) > "Restore the chosen configuration after starting the computer" and > "Revert configuration after shutting down the computer"? I think it's a bit too wordy - a lot of users would worry or press cancel to avoid the issue. Is it really about starting/shutting down - not logging in/out? If about starting/shutting down - why? If about logging in/out then how about "Use until I log out" and "Use now and at log in"? -- Tristan Wibberley Any opinion expressed is mine (or else I'm playing devils advocate for the sake of a good argument).
