Deep Freeze is a backup and recovery program for Windows that can disable all changes made to the operating system of the computer. In order to revert the settings, you need to perform a reboot. This is a convenient solution when you do not want anyone else making uncalled modifications to your PC.

Initial configuration

First of all, you need to set up a master password that can activate and deactivate Deep Freeze mode. It is recommended to store this information in a secure and accessible place, since there is no way of recovering if it is lost.

The utility may be difficult to understand, however you can check out the help file before getting too deep into it. For example, to bring out the password window and enable or disable the tool, you have to go to the system tray, hold down Shift and double-click the left mouse button.

Additional notes

Please note that if you leave the program enabled and then make some important changes to the system, such as installing new software or writing a document, you will lose everything at the next startup. Moreover, activating and deactivating Deep Freeze will always require a reboot. If you encounter issues with installing new applications, you may try another utility called Windows Installer.
