New users' first experience upon launching Squeak should be an
immediate commencement of their journey to discovery and wonderment,
not a tedious and meaningless (to them) message that tasks
them with some chore they couldn't possibly care about at that point.
Many would bail right then and there. Personally, I think most users
that would use a system like this would know about files and folders
and would simply re-unzip it, but if you feel strongly the system
should hold their hand then lets actually hold it by handling it for
the user *automatically*. A tweak to the launcher scripts included
in the All-In-One. Simply change the script to make a copy of the
"master" and then launch the copy. If the copy already exists (i.e.,
from last time), launch it instead of copying it over. Then, we
simply include a "factory-reset" script which deletes the copy. Done.
