Using Deep Freeze
Mapping Tab
The Mapping tab is used to map the user’s home folder to a specific ThawSpace or partition, or to
map elements of a user’s home folder to a specific ThawSpace or partition. This feature is only
available at the administrator level. The current logged in user can not be mapped.
To map a user’s home folder to a target destination, select the user’s account and under User
Location select one of the options available: Boot Volume, User ThawSpace, Partition, or Custom.
• Boot Volume —This option maps the user account to the volume the operating system is
booted from. If the boot volume is Frozen, changes will be lost upon restart.
• User ThawSpace — This option maps the user account to the corresponding User ThawSpace
created for this user. It is not recommended that User ThawSpaces be renamed because a
renamed ThawSpace will prevent access from the original user account.
• Partition — The user account can be mapped to a specific partition listed in the Drives tab.
• Custom— This option lets certain elements (pictures, movies and, music, etc.) of a user
account be mapped to the User ThawSpace/Partitions. To do this, click on the element and
select the ThawSpace/Partition that it will be mapped to. Custom mapped users must be
located on the boot volume. Users can not be mapped entirely to their User ThawSpace/any
other volume and then partially custom mapped to another location.
Click Apply after making changes.
For bookmarks, the location must exist to be mapped; e.g. if a user has never run Safari, it can not
be mapped. Deep Freeze does not create the folders and bookmarks for a user.
