    Nothing's ever 100% secure, IMHO. Just a thought.

    Your opinion is correct. Nothing is 100% secure.

    I have hacked it -- start in safe mode and it is not disabled and then you can remove the deep freeze program or remove it from the startup -- easy as pie :-)

    Not sure about the 98 version, but with the NT/XP version starting in safemode does nothing to defeat DeepFreeze. You can boot in safemode and delete everything if you want, but when you reboot its all back. There is a way if you have knowledege of ASM and a debugger but unless your're users are incredibly computer savvy, DeepFreeze will lock it up tight, its money well spent.

    i do have to respectifully disagree with you because while CHANGES are undone, the actual disabling of deep freeze is not undone because it then doesn't ever start up to undo the changes you made.

    However, i do agree that it is money well spent since we have implimented it in some of our labs at my university and we have only had someone disable deep freeze once in the past year.

    Its, kind of a pain if you have programs that require alot of updates.
    But if its just being used for like say an internet kiosk then it works great.

    Here I removed all reg keys and deleted DF in Safemode, then just for good measure I "del /F /S/ Q C: *.*" Observe the results.
