This is an excellent sandbox type program ie. it basically makes your system drive (for example your C: drive if you use it for Windows and apps only) revert back to what it was before you booted up. This is something that Internet cafe's or public libraries would use. If you're familiar with VMware, it's similar to making your disks non-persistent. It automatically restores the PC to it's original system state (all programs or changes are wiped out when you reboot). Better than using anti-virus software in my opinion. |

I have used Sandboxie for some time and it works great. If youi want to save
anything it gives you the option of putting into your computer proper..otherwise it just stays in the "sandbox" and is deleted when you exit. As others have said, Google will get you to the site.

Sounds a lot like Microsoft's EWF. I don't know how Deep Freeze works. But EWF works by intercepting writes to the system/boot drive and storing them into RAM instead. Just like a disk cache, but never writing. The only bad part about EWF is the buffer only holds 512MB. Yes you can check the tally. So you either tell it to either write (commit) or dump everything and reboot. 512MB holds me usually about 40 to 50 hours worth of emailing, newsgroup, and browsing on the Internet.

I also found "Windows SteadyState" (free from Microsoft) that sounds a lot like "Deep Freeze" as well. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/pro...s/default.mspx -- Bill Gateway MX6124 ('06 era) - Windows XP SP2 |

Many thanks to all responders. I've been duly chastised about not using
Google, which I do use almost daily, with the exception of this question. "Abradaxis" wrote in message ... I've heard of the term a number of times. What does it mean please? |

How
does Deep Freeze work in comparison? I've not used EWF so I can't tell you how it compares. What I can tell you is that Deep Freeze works, is industrial strength (protection is absolute - no if's and but's), and works well. -- Bill Gateway MX6124 ('06 era) - Windows XP SP2 |
