Registry Key Redirection

Data Igloo User Guide

The Registry Key Redirection tab allows you to redirect changes occurring in selected registry

keys to a ThawSpace. This ensures that the changes to the registry key are retained even when the

Deep Freeze status is Frozen. When Deep Freeze status is Thawed, the changes to the registry

keys saved on the ThawSpace are automatically restored to the registry.

The Registry Key Redirection tab is displayed as follows:

If you have Deep Freeze and an antivirus software installed on your computer, the changes to the

registry during an update are erased on reboot. Keeping the computer in a Thawed state will

retain changes to the registry, but will also make it vulnerable to damage. To avoid such a

situation, you can redirect a registry key using Data Igloo.

Perform the following steps:

1. Reboot the computer in a Thawed state.

2. Redirect HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/[ANTIVIRUS_NAME] to the ThawSpace T:.

3. Reboot the computer in a Frozen state.

Different antivirus programs create registry keys in different locations in the

Registry. Determine the correct registry key for the particular antivirus program

before redirecting it to another location.
