A Global ThawSpace is accessible to all users. However, the user ThawSpace is accessible
only to the particular user. On Mac OS X 10.4, other users’ ThawSpaces will not be
displayed on the Desktop. On Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6, when a user logs in, other users’
ThawSpaces will be displayed on the Desktop as a folder with restricted access.
It is not possible to remove an existing ThawSpace and retain its contents. Removing
a ThawSpace that has a user mapped to it will prevent the user from logging on to the
computer. It is recommended that the user be mapped to an alternate location before
the ThawSpace is removed.
