Is there such a thing for the ICA client for Unix?  We have lots of
issues with our Unix people just "x"-ing out of the application instead
of properly logging out.

Hi Folks,
While browsing the web I found the following page on how to disable the
close x box on the RDP client from MS MVP Mathew Harris.
http://terminal.servebeer.com/php/x_box_disable.php

Using Mathew's examples I created a locked down version of the RDP
client with Microsoft Visual C+ that disables the X box. This is a lock
down of the latest Windows 2003 Server RDP client available
at:

Download and install the above client and then make a backup copy of
mstsc.exe file in the Program files\Remote Desktop folder on your drive
Then download and unzip the following file into your Remote desktop
folder:

When in a session if a user clicks on the X to try and close their
session they will get an error box telling them to properly close their
applications and log off to exit. Clicking the OK box returns them to
their session.  They will not be able to close the session via the X

Another fine file from the thin.net!

Enjoy!
