I was reading some other posts over at arcade controls and a user mentioned this program.....

***COPY OF USER POST****

As we all know, Windows can become very unstable (and bloated) over time - a (professional tech) friend of mine has recommended a program called "Deep freeze"* - apparently, once you set up your arcade PC to your liking you can "deep freeze" it, so everytime you boot the computer it will be exactly as it was when you "froze" it. You can have a folder that is unfrozen (called "thaw space") that you can add files (to which will remain after you reboot)

He states that whenever the computer acts up simple press the reset button and all is well again. The program sells for $25 retail.

ahh thought you knew about that one.

For cab's its likely to be a blessing as you generally don't need to unfreeze then refreeze the system that often.

HTPC's I'd be a little more leery of...as more content is generally dumped on them more often.

Anyways good find and certainly worth a mention as most probably don't know of it.

I made its acquaintance some time ago, when we had it installed on 10 of our PC's in the PC club where I'm chairman of the board. The member who was responsible for installing it, forgot the password to the control console, rendering the PC's pretty much useless. :) Other than that, it was a pretty effective program.

So a reminder to those of you who choose to buy it.. don't ever forget the password. :)

DeepFreeze and Symantec Ghost go hand in hand together. What sucks is when you deep freeze your computer and restart only to have the same AVG update coming at you over and over again, each time you restart because AVG checks for daily updates. If you're gonna use Deep Freeze, make sure you got auto updates and update notifications resolved or taken care of before you deep freeze.
