I've done the winzip/softricity thing before. It is like Ron said. You sequence up the app, and then provide the access to the user on the target system via shortcuts. In this case if you add the registry settings into explorer to add the menu. 3.0 adds the automatic "open a .zip means run this" setting, but so far they haven't automatic things like explorer menus. If you want the Softgrid client embedded, you will have to push your thin client vendor. After the cache, consider memory and processor speed too. You might be better using the thin client as is and running softgrid on the terminal server. Keep in mind that Softricity upgrades the client 2-3 times a year so far, too. tim -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ron Oglesby Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2004 6:32 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: o/t anyone catch the Softricity Webinar today? Yeah. There was a problem for a bit on the slides where they weren=92t = showing up for me and some of the viewers... So I was tabing through them trying = to "jump start" Might re-record it so it is cleaned up some. Anyway: Never tried the thing with Winzip. But I will now. I mean you can = basically add things to the right click menu but I am pretty sure the package = wouldn=92t do that since it would require that something modify the local OS or be available even when the package was not running. Anyway for XP embedded I think it MIGHT work. Would be a cool idea. You would need enough disk or disk on chip to store some cache but it could = be cool.

Just finished viewing the webinar. The bloke taking it, with the cold kept, flicking through his slides a = fair bit .... :=AC) All very very interesting this Softricity stuff. Reminds me of my = reaction the first time i saw Winframe 1.6 in action ( i.e WOW!) 2 thoughts. If only it worked with an Embedded XP thin client ... what a great combination that would be. Does sequencing allow the integration with explorer ... ie if you = sequence winzip can u then open explorer, right click on a file or directory and = then select "Add to zip" ? regards ----- Original Message -----=20 From: "Ron Oglesby" <roglesby@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2004 10:27 PM Subject: [THIN] Re: o/t anyone catch the Softricity Webinar today?
