I agree that deepfreeze is a wonderful program and is great for things
like labs, but how do you use it in your corporate environment?
Don't things like outlook express and such lose settings? It seems to
me that outlook express by default saves mail to the LOCAL SETTINGS
directory which doesn't migrate.
