Using Deep Unfreezer is quite easy. To check out the current
state of Deep Freeze click on the 'Load' button. The position of the
radio buttons will change to the current state.


2.
To save the state click the 'Save' button.


3.
Depending on the version of Deep Freeze, the program may need
to read some information from the service file. Deep Unfreezer tries
to find the file automatically, if it doesn't succeed the user must
specify the file location manually.

4.
For the latest versions of Deep Freeze (5.50 and above) for
Windows 2K/XP the following rules apply:
-
Deep
Unfreezer must be run under an account with debug privileges. By
default Deep Freeze disables this privilege. Deep Unfreezer tries
to enable this privilege automatically, if it fails the program
will show the message 'WARNING: Not running from service'. To
manually enable this privilege you have two options: follow the
steps described on Tutorial
4 or using the Administrator account use the 'at' command to
run the program with the System account. The 'at' command allows
you to run programs at a given time, so if it's 12:00 and the file
is in C:\ you can run Deep Unfreezer with the following command:
at 12:01 /interactive "C:\DeepUnfreezer1.6.exe". When the
clock changes to 12:01 the system will run Deep Unfreezer with
debug privileges.
-
Deep
Unfreezer can change the state as long as the service
(DF5Serv.exe) had started and is running or if the service had
never started at all. If the service started and for some reason
it stopped, Deep Unfreezer wont be able to change the state. In
the case the service had never been started Deep Unfreezer must be
run from the System account and you will be able to change the
state as long as you don't close Deep Unfreezer. Once the program
is closed, the only way to change to state again is to reboot the
computer. Deep Unfreezer tries to run from the System account
automatically, if it fails the program will show the message
'WARNING: Not running from service'. To manually run Deep
Unfreezer from the System account use the 'at' command described
above.
Questions:
1.
¿Where's the program source code?
At
this moment I'm not planning to publish the source code.
2.
¿Can you add the option to change Deep Freeze
password?
At
this moment I'm not planning to add that functionality, so don't ask
for it.
3.
When I try to change the state of Deep Freeze on Windows 2K/XP I get
the error 'cannot open process. Enough privileges?'.
To
change the state Deep Unfreezer needs debug privileges. Read the
manual.
4.
When I start Deep Unfreezer on Windows 2K/XP I get the message
'WARNING: Not running from service'.
Deep
Unfreezer tries to automatically run from the System account with
debug privileges. This message means the program failed to do so. If
you are trying to change the state of Deep Freeze 5.50 or above you
have to add this functionalities manualy. Read the manual.
5.
I have other questions. ¿What can I do?
Post
them on the forum. Don't forget to include the program log, what
version of Deep Freeze you are using and what version of Windows.
