[THIN] Re: Allow user to reset own connections + log

Hold that thought! I hate to pre-empt new freeware utilities from Ctrl-Alt-Del IT Consultancy, but I
am just putting the very final touches on a new tool called TSSelfServReset. It should be up on the
web site by Wednesday or Thursday. It is a single GUI that shows all the sessions and processes
for the specific logged on user and allows them to logoff their own sessions or kill their own
processes without the need for admin rights etc. I've been testing it for the last 2 weeks and I'm
pretty happy with it, and so are the various beta testers. Stay tuned and I'll post when the final
product will be available.

Cheers
