Anyone happen to have any dealings with Deep Freeze? And if you have do you know of any way around it or away to disable it besides booting from a floppy?

I once was skying in the alpes at incredible -34 degrees celcius... damn that was a deep freeze!

Oooh..next time you go take some pictures of some hot trophy wives for me Taino.

So is skying like sky diving with ski's on?

Sounds like fun!

and the comedians come crawling out

Use the admin password to disable it and reboot thawed :D

If you forgot the password, I'm told on setup you can enter multiple passwords as backdoors.

She said she thought there were ways to recover a lost password but had never had occasion.

ok well here is the situation. IT here at school likes "job security" and refuses to give my cisco instructor a password and they have yet to fix all the comps in this class that got hit with that damn virus that nailed everyone. So we are trying to find away around Deep Freeze so we can do their damn job for them we just cant figure out how to get around the annoying pos program

Hahah...DISD used Deep Freeze. It's a bitch to get rid of but it prevents retards from changing the settings on the machines and screwing em' up. It's for lazy admins who don't know how to use policies.

You have to know the password and the person that sets it up can ALSO setup the break key....Maybe F6/F8 at boot after two quick sets of ellipses OR CTRL F6 in Windows. Just a long shot...

What operating system?

Are you any good with a command line registry edit?

hehe hold on to your seat win 2k, and not very well but im sure i can figure it out

Hmm... I'm pretty sure you can import a run/run services startup/services registry key from a W2K that doesn't have that utility installed and bypass it that way- it just won't load.

thats what we are trying to do, keep the bloody thing from loading and erasing all our stuff we have saved

Hmmm.. just looked up the application, and it is pretty clever.

It freezes the partition, preventing changes from being saved in any way shape or form, down to the file level.

Still, your best bet might be to look into the registry under (possibly) Faronics Technologies or Deep Freeze and disable it if you can.

I'm 100% sure it has to run as a service... but which one is the question. There is a trial version on their website, so I'm thinking you could (on a clean machine) install a registry difference utility, install that, and then see what gets changed. Then, on the "real" installs, you can go to those keys and delete them.
