A Global ThawSpace is accessible to all users. However, the user ThawSpace is
accessible only to the particular user. 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 in to the computer. It is recommended that the user be mapped to an
alternate location before the ThawSpace is removed.
