Classroom PCs on the Staunton Mary Baldwin Campus are Deep Frozen the second Friday after classes start. In order to protect the instructor workstations from unexpected changes, the computer will automatically re-set whenever it reboots to how it looked on the date of Deep Freezing. Until that date, instructors can add bookmarks, etc to the classroom PCs.
