Networking software for a school lab

I couldn't upload it, but here is the link.

You can use psexec to push out a script from AutoIt3 or AutoHotKey.

The script would enumerate each item in the shared folder and open it.

Or you could use a scheduled task to launch the script.

Or the script could be in a start up folder and you push out or schedule a restart.

Or you keep hunting for remote control software that has the feature that you need

Are you saying that you could complete one set of actions in the main console and those actions were duplicated on each student's computer at the same time --- without you having to take remote control of each student's computer?

e.g. you open a web link - the link opens on all other computers at the same time?

If that is what Netsupport School can do, then I'm not sure that iTALC has such a feature. None of the classroom tools that I looked at listed such a feature.

On the other hand, if you meant that you take control of each student's computer and open/arrange the files/links/windows of interest one computer at a time - then there are several tools that can do that... including iTALC.

Take control one at a time. I will give iTALC a try then and see how it helps out.

While that is better than walking around to each computer, a scripted solution would be best. Once you get iTALC doing what Netsupport School was doing, then you might want to play with AutoIt3. Send me a PM if you need help getting a script doing what you do manually. Once the script is written, it should not need updating - only the folder that holds the links to be opened by the script will need to be updated.

Thank you all for the responses. Much appreciated.
