[WEB4LIB] Re: Deep Freeze -- Comments?

[Julia Schult]

I've been using Deep Freeze 1.1, and even in that version you can leave an entire
drive thawed.  So if you partition your hard drive into say C: (applications and
OS) D: (Virtual mem) and E: (user folders) then you can freeze C: and D: but leave
E: thawed.  I have not tried this myself.
