Hi, Try NCDs Thinpath PC and Management Portal. It allows you to centrally manage all PCs as thin clients. It replaces the windows explorer shell with a thin client shell which looks very much like Thinstar terminals. You can update software (ICA, RDP..), and manage security settings and connections to pcs by groups. Install the eval download to a W2K server and then point your pcs web browser at the web share. An install will convert your PC to a managed thin client in minutes. You can clone desired configurations to deploy to other pcs. To check it out, go to http://www.ncd.com/products/software/thinpathpc/ and click "Download ThinPath Software". Good luck.

I want to have a desktop that has 2 buttons on it 1) Run Citrix Apps 2) Run Local Windows Users find it confusing running a FAT OS (Windows 2000 Pro) with a Published Desktop - 2 start menus. I know I can use the ICA client as the shell but this is too restrictive. Any ideas???
