ThawSpace Tab
The ThawSpace tab is used to create virtual Thawed partitions where documents and changes are
retained persistently on Frozen computers. Administrators can create a User ThawSpace for each User,
or a Global ThawSpace that all users can share. The ThawSpace tab displays only the users that have
ThawSpace.
Global and User ThawSpaces are easily distinguishable by the icons displayed in the Type column. The
icon represents the Global ThawSpace, and the
ThawSpaces can be added or deleted from within the tab using the Add and Delete buttons. ThawSpaces
are sized in MB or GB and can range from 1 MB to 120 GB.
The computer must be in a Thawed state to create or modify a ThawSpace. If a ThawSpace was set up
using the Deep Freeze Assistant, a dialog (with a progress bar) appears stating that ThawSpaces are
being created. The Global ThawSpace and user ThawSpace are displayed as removable media on the
desktop. Other users' ThawSpaces are displayed as a folder with restricted access.
A maximum of one Global and 32 User ThawSpaces can be created on each computer. The User ThawSpaces
are visible for mapping purposes. ThawSpaces appear as removable media on the Desktop. To have User
ThawSpaces tagged with the users' chosen icons, select the Tag User ThawSpace with icon checkbox.
