Re-using existing PCs is costless than buying Thin-Client devicesWhat ThinPC will do for you?At a very low cost, ThinPC makes it easy to turn existing PCs into locked down devices acting as a Thin-Client. The standard Windows desktop and start menu will be prevented from appearing. ThinPC includes the following features and benefits: w Re-purpose the PC, avoiding the cost of buying a new PC or Thin Client w Eliminate non work related computer usage, increasing end user productivity w Simple method to lock down a PC, reducing desktop visits by support staff w Rapid deployment, flexible implementation, simplifying desktop administration
How does it work? ThinPC prevents the Windows Explorer Shell from running on startup. In place of the standard Explorer Shell, a USER PANEL set by the Administrator becomes the only available user interface. In the event of any program terminating, the USER PANEL is immediately re-launched by ThinPC. A common scenario is to restrict the desktop to running thin client software for Citrix ICA or Microsoft RDP connecting to a terminal server or virtual machine. ThinPC requires no server footprint or management tools. It can be deployed by any method used to distribute software packaged for Windows Installer.
How to Purchase? The Setup program is free to use and to install on any PC. After installing one copy of ThinPC, the Administrator has 2 weeks to activate the permanent license. For each PC, the license is available at any time using the following link. The license key codes are delivered on-line (http://thinpc.org/License)
