As I have been using ScreenConnect for some time I started writing some small helper programs.
In the spirit of idea exchange and to help others not to have to do the same work all over I've decided to share them with you.

Here's the first (really small) tool that may help some of you out there:

ScreenConnect SupportTool is a simple browser window to allow quick access to the ScreenConnect Session List:



Distribution:
To allow for individual distribution the .exe file is launched with the URL to the ScreenConnect Site as parameter.
This offers two possibilities for distribution:
1. Shortcut
Simply copy the .exe file to a common network share and put a shortcut to SupportTool with the URL as parameter in every user's start menu or desktop.
2. Self Extracting .exe
Wrap the SupportTool.exe into a self-Extracting .exe file by use of your favorite packaging tool and set it to extract to temp folder and open the SupportTool.exe with parameter.
A quite unknown tool to accomplish that is distributed alongside Windows: IExpress.
Try writing "iexpress" in Windows Run Dialog and follow the wizard.

Alternate usage
SupportTool can be used as a tool to give your technicians a single point of usage.
It can be pinned to the Start Menu and you have a chrome-free separate browser window.
If ScreenConnect runs with Active Directory Authentication all you need to do is add the ScreenConnect URL to your "Local Network" Sites in IE and a Link to e.g. http://screenconnect.yourdomain.com/Host will give you Single Sign On

Requirements:
* Windows OS
* .NET Framework 2.0

Download:
* Download Page
* Direct Download

Thanks for providing this. It seems like it it could be used for anything ... very similar to Chrome's "application mode".
