C:\ will be frozen to protect the OS.Īs such, if you use folders like My Documents, etc they will have to be remapped to a thawed partition. With DF you need at least two partitions - one that will be in thawed state for your data files. But you can see why, since it's used in schools, etc, and needs to have tighter control. It's not as flexible as ShadowUser, where you can commit/discard changes in the "virtual image" you are working in.ĭF doesn't allow any of that, so this is something to consider. To add software, you put Deep Freeze into its thawed state, install, reboot, then put back into Frozen state. If a virus or trojan gets by your anti-_ product, DF will restore it w/o those attacks. No matter, it always restores to previous state on reboot. Great for computer labs where students like to try and trash the computer - modify files in Windows, etc. No matter what you do, the system reboots to its previous state. I would do a lot of reading on both Deep Freeze and ShadowUser before deciding.ĭeep Freeze was designed for institutions - schools, libraries, etc, so that no one could alter the system.
Another program which does use that technique is ShadowUser. I avoid using the term remove, or erase, because that implies the program works in a virtual image, or snap shot, which it doesn't. Any changes made to the system will be not be around on reboot. It's not an anti-_ program, ie, it doesn't check or stop anything from getting into the system, it just restores the system to it's last reboot state.
