Regarding "pre-configure the default user profile". Are you actually changing the profile for the default user, or are you using a roaming profile. In the past, using XP we were able to create a profile and then copy that profile to the default user. Then any new logon to the machine would have those settings. I have found that this is no longer an option with Windows 7. In fact it is blocked. http://blogs.technet.com/deploymentguys/archive/2009/10/29/configuring-defau lt-user-settings-full-update-for-windows-7-and-windows-server-2008-r2.aspx Has anyone found an alternate method to pre-configure a user so that all log ons will have the desired settings?

Mr. Guilford's comments are correct, though - to avoid users having to configure software or answer registration questions, we pre-configure the default user profile so that JAWS and ZoomText and everything else are already set up the way we want them before the machines are frozen.

DeepFreeze doesn't seem to have any negative effects on any software I can think of providing permanent changes are not required for routine operation of that software. Even then, as you've read, a "thawed" drive can be created where permanent changes are allowed. DeepFreeze is so transparent to OS operations that, should you forget to thaw your Program Files drive as Administrator, you could run through a program installation successfully only to find your work wiped clean on system restart! ---------------------------------------------- James Guilford, I.T.
