Redirecting to Hidden ThawSpaces

ThawSpace is a virtual partition that can be used to store programs, save files, or make permanent changes. All files stored in the ThawSpace are retained after a restart, even if the computer is Frozen.

Deep Freeze allows you to create Hidden ThawSpaces. Hidden ThawSpaces are not visible in Windows Explorer. However, Hidden ThawSpaces can be accessed via Start > Run > [Drive Letter].

Ensure the Deep Freeze status is Thawed before creating a Folder Redirection via Data Igloo.

If you know which ThawSpaces are Hidden, you can follow the steps in Creating a new Folder Redirection and type the folder path in the Target field to redirect folders to Hidden ThawSpaces

If you do not know which ThawSpaces are Hidden, you need to set the Hidden ThawSpaces to Visible before performing folder redirection using the Browse button in Data Igloo.

Complete the following steps to set the Hidden ThawSpaces to Visible:

1.	Open Deep Freeze on your workstation.

2.	Go to the ThawSpace tab.

3.	Select the checkbox for the drive letter that is not currently visible in Windows Explorer.

4.

Click OK.

5.	Log out then log in again or restart the computer.

After the ThawSpaces become visible in Windows Explorer, click the Browse button in Data Igloo to select the folder in the Browse for folder dialog, and follow the steps in Creating a new Folder Redirection.

Once the Folder Redirection is complete, you can set ThawSpaces to be hidden again. To set ThawSpaces to Hidden, complete the following steps:

1.	Open Deep Freeze on your workstation.

2.	Go to the ThawSpace tab.

3.	Clear the checkbox for the drive letter that is currently visible in Windows Explorer.

4.

Click OK.
