New Tweak to Checkin

One thing that we have run into lately with our Fellowship One checkin systems is that by design the checkin application times out and closes after a long period of inactivity. Well, even though we are locking these machines down pretty tightly with group policy, we don’t want to expose the desktop to everyone. So what we did was wrote a small application that auto starts on login of the machines and always sits on the desktops not allowing access to the desktop and any ability to close the application out. It also allows us a little more functionality by adding some hidden function buttons to do things like reboot, logoff, close the app, shutdown, OS and IP info, and even an admin tools section for managing and deploying items dealing with these machines.

Hope I am not jinxing it, but so far it has worked out great!
