Desktop Authority provides the ability to execute programs when Windows shuts down, restarts or logs off. This happens with the help of the Desktop Agent. The Agent is a program that sits idle in the system tray until a shut down, restart or log off event occurs. When one of these events are triggered, the Agent will seamlessly invoke any queued applications, shell scripts, or service pack installations. Custom Scripts may also be executed at this time providing an unlimited array of functionality.
To configure the Desktop Agent, select the Desktop Agent object under Global Options.
The Desktop Agent client is an application used to launch specified programs when the client logs off or shuts down the computer. The client side of the Agent also provides several options to control the workstation. The user may Shut down, Restart, Logoff or Lock the workstation if the agents icon is displayed in the system tray. Simply right-click on the icon for the shortcut menu.
Select About from the shortcut menu to see version and copyright information regarding the Agent.

Select Restart from the shortcut menu to restart the workstation.
Select Logoff from the shortcut menu to log the current user off of the workstation.
