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.
Has anyone found an alternate method to pre-configure a user
so that all log ons will have the desired settings?

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?
Thanks,
