[OPLINTECH] ThinDesktop by ThinLaunch

[JKENZIG]

Hi All,
Just wanted to point out a new piece of software that was shown at
VMworld called ThinLaunch that will lock a workstation into a single
application.  ThinLaunch would be  a great program for a Kiosk PC.  You
can lock Internet Explorer as the only application available for example
with no access to the desktop. You can use it to lock any app as the
default and the only one the user sees.  

You can download a 30 day demo of the product from the vendors website
at:
http://thinlaunch.com/index.shtml

You need a special key sequence to break out of the desktop so you can
logon and administer the workstation press CTRL-ALT-DEL and choose Log
Off while holding the left Shift key.  Continue holding the Shift key
until the logon dialog appears.  This will allow a local account such as
administrator, to log on normally.

I am not sure on pricing on this product but the concept is pretty good.
