Although the boom in phone booths has fallen a lot in recent years, it is true that there are still many computer rooms in whose computers many users participate and all under the same user account.
This can lead to serious problems for administrators ranging from increasingly slow computers to security hazards on the computer network. But this can be fixed in a simple, fast and for all audiences: freeze equipment.
Freezing the pc does not mean that we put the computer in a refrigerator, but rather make the image and the moment of the pc in which we are permanent and therefore the user only knows this version. Namely, we use the hard drive with the same time, files, settings, etc ... as at the time we "freeze" the computer. And when we have a problem, we just have to restart the computer so that everything changed or done during that session is erased and returns to the frozen state.
To achieve this there are many programs and tools, but the best of all is Deep Freeze. Deep Freeze is a tool created by Faraonics. This company has created this software that not only helps computer room equipment but has many other functions, but the most useful for the end user is this without a doubt.
Once we install the software, we have to open the configuration panel and not only add a new password but also choose the "freeze" option. From that moment, all users when starting Windows will start it the same and after turning off the computer, all changes made will be erased. This is ideal for users who do not know what they are doing, users who download malicious files, bad configurations, problematic updates, etc ...
The good thing about Deep Freeze is that we can easily "unfreeze" the hard drive and update or change what we want and freeze it again.
Deep Freeze is a software that can be found in the Faraonics official page, not free software But it does have a trial version that will show us all its power and if we have many problems with users, paying for a Deep Freeze license may be cheaper than we think.
