How to Disable Deepfreeze

You can find a lot of tutorials like this one on the world wide web from the infamous search engines and the best tech websites out there. I'll just want to make this one as simple as possible for not all of us really talks tech. Here's a scenario, you found an amazing software/application and decided to test it on the PC you're using, the thing is that it requires the computer to reboot for the installation to be completed - so you went ahead and hit the restart button (after a few minutes) you were expecting a sequel of the initial installation window and then you noticed the icon of the application you just stored on the desktop is now missing - strange you wondered.. but then when you launch the browser and tried going back to the previous websites you visited before the reboot, the url's aren't popping up on the address bar finally you came into realization that there's a polar bear icon staring at you from the system tray located on the lower right corner of the screen. You hovered the cursor on those wild intimidating eyes, the balloon name popped up, your lips mobilized and whispered Deepfreeze - you had goosebumps! suddenly you're hacking your keys on the search box with the chilling evil string of characters - so the results came and that's how you found out what that application is for. The lost time and penny charged on the duration of your stay, the lucky clicks you went thru to get to that application's page and most importantly, the web based flash game you sacrificed to close for the sole reason of hastening your download - blame it to the bear!! and so here we are:

1. Download Deep Unfreezer.
2. Run the application.
3. Change the state of DF.
4. Reboot your PC for the changes to take effect.
5. Seriously!? I said I'd make it simple didn't I? That's all.

This is very helpful with users who rent PC usage on internet cafe's. Most of 'em use the same software to prevent users in making changes on their computers.
