How to Uninstall Deep freeze

Deep Freeze, by Faronics, is an application available for the Microsoft WindowsMac OS X, and SUSE Linux operating systems which allowssystem administrators to protect the core operating system and configuration files on a workstation or server by restoring a computer back to its original configuration each time the computer restarts.[1]


To uninstall the software Deep Freeze must first be disabled and then uninstalled.
To disable Deep Freeze:

  1. Hold down the shift key and double-click on the Deep Freeze icon. Alternatively, you can press Crtl-Alt-Shift-F6. You should now see a password dialog.
  2. Enter your password and click OK. If you have not yet entered a password you should be able to click OK without entering anything. You should now see a dialog with boot options.
  3. Select "Boot thawed" and click OK. This will disable Deep Freeze on the next reboot.
  4. Reboot your machine. After the machine reboots you are ready to uninstall Deep Freeze.

  2. Run the installation file (DF5Std.exe or DF6Std.exe).
  3. Select the option to "Uninstall"
  4. The software should uninstall and reboot the machine. When the machine reboots, Deep Freeze should be uninstalled.
