Reset and Account Reset Console Software for Windows

Desktop Password Reset
$0 - NetWrix Corporation

NetWrix Desktop Password Reset gives users ability to securely manage their local computer passwords and resolve account lockouts in a self-service fashion without gaining privileged access to computers. The product provides secure password management for computers in disconnected and non-domain environments, for example, laptops which are not a members of domain.

Most organizations typically restrict administrative access to their computers and users don't know local Administrator password for security reasons. When local account becomes locked, only computer administrator can login and resolve the issue. But when users travel, visit customers or do other out of office activities with their laptops, nobody can help them except for giving privileged access to system (e.g. saying local admin password by phone). With Desktop Password Reset, users can securely resolve password issues on their computers without any help from system administrator or IT helpdesk.

The product uses "question and answer" security system for user authentication. All users establish their profiles upon first logon and once profile is established, they can manage passwords and unlock accounts manually by supplying the answers from profile. Deployment process is very simple and easy to automate - only single MSI file without any parameters to install into each managed computer.

NOTE: The product is not shareware. Please contact NetWrix Corporation (visit www.netwrix.com) to get price quote for your organization.

Desktop Resetter
$10 - No U-Turn Software

Calling all shortcut and icon junkies!!!
.....do your icons tend to move with no help from you? Do you find it frustrating to always have to put them back? Want to do restore everything with a few clicks? Desktop Resetter to the rescue!

Just hit "remember" for each resolution and with a click of a button you can sit back and watch everything fly back into place! Desktop Resetter is an easy-to-use program designed to save/remember desktop item positions (icons, windows, popup windows, application switcher, etc.). If they change or move, they can be restored/reset at a later time.

Some programs change the monitor resolution or somehow cause the desktop items to scatter randomly, mostly to the top left corner of the screen. Crashing or booting into safe mode will also cause your desktop items to lose their locations. Putting everything back is a tedious task, one that you'll never have to worry about again when you have Desktop Resetter to the rescue. You may also find this program useful if you play games or change resolutions frequently.

Shell Reset
$15 - Shell+ Development Group

Debugging of Shell extensions is a simple process. Its general principes are described in the article "Debugging Shell Extensions Using Delphi" on our website. But some things still made developers "unhappy". They are:

* DLL's are locked by applications (for caching purposes) and you are unable to recompile your project
* You need to use Registry Editor to modify hidden Windows Shell setting
* Sometimes you don't have access to some Explorer features while debugging your Shell Extension

Shell Reset Tool was developed to solve these problems. It is useful to any Shell Extension developer, not depending on what he used to develop and debug shell extensions (Borland Delphi, Microsoft Visual Studio or any other environment).

Shell Reset features:

* Restart and shutdown Windows Explorer
* Control Windows Explorer debugging settings
* Manage tasks without Explorer Task Bar
* More useful features will be available soon
