    Let us know how you get on with this, also more specially, if you can get it to boot straight into RDP/TS instead of having user interaction.

    Thanks mate :)

    You could do that a couple of ways but I suppose the easiest way would be to execute a saved .rdp file on start-up, I've pm-ed you a link of this in action. They do have a Kiosk mode but I don't like that too much, if you or Modey know a bit of scripting then it would be easy enough to rustle up a quick script to achieve it(its just XP after all).

    No worries bud, where WES should come into its own is if you have TS 2008 and RemoteApp(which is the next thing am going to test) as this will give the Thin Client a more natural feel, if you want me to make you up a little guide for getting WES into VMware then just say the word.

    Here is a little snippet of code (VB.NET) that should do you good (just need to expand it a little more)

    Code:
    Module Module1
    
        Sub Main()
            '   
            ' Start a new process (Remote Desktop Connection).
            '
            Dim myProcess As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\test.rdp")
            '
            ' Wait until it ends.
            '
            myProcess.WaitForExit()
    
            If myProcess.ExitCode = 0 Then
                ' If user closed the program then shutdown Thin Client
                System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("shutdown", "-s -t 00")
            Else
                ' Restart Remote Desktop Connection
                Main()
            End If
    
            '
            ' Close the process to free resources.
            '
            myProcess.Close()
    
        End Sub
    
    End Module
