Thin Desktop makes it easy to turn a Windows based PC into a locked down device that restricts the user to run a single application which becomes the entire user interface. The standard Windows desktop and start menu will be prevented from appearing.

Features and Benefits

  • Re-purpose the PC, avoiding the cost of buying a new PC or Thin Client
  • Eliminate non work related computer usage, increasing end user productivity
  • Simple method to lock down a PC, reducing desktop visits by support staff
  • Access Vista in a VM from the current desktop, allowing for rapid testing and deployment
  • Flexible implementation, simplifying desktop administration

 

How Does it Work?

Thin Desktop prevents the Windows Explorer Shell from running on startup. In place of the standard Explorer Shell, a program of your choice becomes the only available user interface. In the event of the program terminating, it is immediately re-launched by Thin Desktop.

A common scenario is to restrict the desktop to running thin client software for Citrix ICA or Microsoft RDP connecting to a terminal server or virtual machine. 

Thin Desktop requires no server footprint or management tools. It can be deployed by any method used to distribute software packaged for Windows Installer.

 

System Requirements

  • Windows 98, 2000 Service Pack 3, XP Service Pack 2, or XP Embedded
