What do you guys think about having UVK create a desktop link to your home page as part of it's clean up process. I know Fred worries about morals of things(It's good that some one does now days ). But this, if they don't like it, they can just delete it... nice and easy.

It is not "Can it be done?" but rather, "How can we do it?"

Re: Link to home page.
You could do it by copying a shortcut from your %installsourcedir% to the common desktop.
Re: Link to home page.
I think thats probably a good idea and an easy addition. It would be cool if we could drop a custom icon into the UVK folder structure somewhere that it will use in the creation of the shortcut too. (I think thats what Xander was talking about.) One that is different or separate from the custom uvk icon. I know Fred is busy though. You could probably script that for us couldn't you Jim?

LOL Yea Brink, I could do it. I suppose a script wouldn't be much different than if UVK did it but I was thinking if it was an option and it was part of the uninstall process that we could just set it and forget it. That way all the machines we worked on would be "tattooed" but the user could easily remove it if they wanted.

That’s not a bad idea. Most people I deal with have my support gateway on their computers so their computer is always available for a remote support connection. However, there are a few people I don’t know as well and to leave them a branded desktop icon to use to request remote support if they so choose would be a nice option. Like Jim said they could simply delete it if they want to.

Well, since everyone seems to want this, I'll have to do it, I guess.
Should UVK create the shortcut when the license is activated, on uninstall, or should this be an option in the "Options" section? Should it ask for confirmation before creating the shortcut?

One thing we humans have in common is that we are all different. So, if you think you're weird because you're different from everyone else, then we are all weird.

Re: Link to home page.
LOL Fred, don't sound so happy about it
I think it should be an option you set and after its set, upon uninstall uvk checks for it and creates it if it don't already exist.

Re: Link to home page.
How about a warranty type of icon. i.e. it has an adjustable timer so, for example, if you give a 30 day warranty on malware removal it would count done from 30 days to zero.
Or, if you had done some hardware repairs or upgrades you might want 365 days to zero.
It would be great for keeping customers and ourselves up to date with warranty claims.

I like the 30/30 guarantee. 30 feet or 30seconds, whichever comes first.
