View Client 3.0.1 - Disabling the "X"

We're setting up a test environment to see if going virtual with our call center is feasible, and so far so good. However, I was wondering if anyone knew of a registry setting or any other method for disabling the "X" on the menu bar that disconnects the user. This is problematic as our call center reps use Avaya IP agent (software based VOIP) and "accidentally" clicking the "X" will disconnect them from the host machine and subsequently drop any call they're currently on. Our test machines are all using XP Professional. Thin clients may be an option down the road but we already have desktops in place that we'd like to use. Appreciate any assistance, thanks!

There is no way in View to do that. You could only automatically toggle the complete bar so that the user can't see it.

AppSense Environment Manager has a feature to lock and/or hide window controls!

Thanks, I was afraid of that. I'll look into AppSense as well.

This might help you. I have been testing VMView on a kiosk style environment, and wanted to hide the view taskbar.

Thanks, Sonny. That looks like it might be a good route to take except that we need to connect a USB device upon logging into the machine. I'm sure there's a way to auto connect the device and I'll be sure to look into that. Thanks again for the help!
