We have a roaming profile for the JAWS
machine with all that stuff pre-done. :) Sounds like I won’t have to make any
changes other than uninstalling the current program and tossing on DF. :) We’re
going to build a test lab. :)
Thank you all for your stories – it is
very much appreciated! :-)
Thanks,

We also are running
JAWS on some of our public machines with DeepFreeze, and haven’t had
issues. 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.

We have several installations of JAWS and DeepFreeze doesn't interfere with
them. 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!

Do any of you have Deep Freeze running with JAWS? Does it
work? :-) What about Kurzweil 3000?
