Hi Angus,
Please provide a sample ini. I'd love to have a play when time allows.
Cheers,
Jeremy.

I've posted the most recent version to
http://www.digiwake.co.uk/zipfiles/Shelaunch21c.rar (case-sensitive) in
case anyone wants to try it out. I can provide sample .ini files for our
installation as well if required.

We run it on XP nowadays as as well. As long as the default user isn't a
local admin it should be secure enough for most purposes. An enthusiastic
hacker would probably be able to break it but he could probably break
anything.
Our terminals aren't domain members (as they only need TV access) and are
set to autologin as a local user with very limited permissions. We've
assigned a hotkey to switch the shell back to normal explorer mode
(Shelaunch.exe /X) but since it involves writing to HKLM the default user
can't do it. It's been secure enough for us.

Angus, that's pretty awesome mate but I'm more looking for something XP Pro
based which is the platform we work with. I haven't touched those old win
systems for about 5 years O_O
Thanks
Sean

It's not 100% secure from tampering but if you Google for "shelaunch"
you'll
come across a replacement Windows shell I developed. We use it extensively
on single-use machines and it was designed with Citrix/TS specifically in
mind.

Hi,
I need pointing in the direction of a resource that can help me secure a
standard windows box for use as a thin client connecting via mstsc to a MS
2K3 TS over a persistent VPN.
I'm looking for a way of making the box startup and automagically launch
the
mstsc client and not allow users to play outside that environment.
Cheers for any input.
Sean
