System and method for providing seamless thin client conversion

Abstract:

A computer processing system includes a processor to operate based on an operating system providing an operating system user interface, and a thin client conversion engine. The thin client conversion engine performs, in response to a user logging into the computer processing system and before the user can interact with the operating system, a series of steps. The steps include managing control of user interactions with the operating system, intercepting at least one shell component of the operating system so that the at least one shell component is not available to the user, and redefining the operating system user interface based on the managing and intercepting so that the user is not able to access the at least one shell component in order to provide a seamless thin client conversion.
