Job Control Panel
Keywords: Simple Basic Menu Job Control Panel Front End
Question:
I am looking to write a program to create a Simple Menu to allow our HelpDesk to do basic tasks on latops (we need to migrate 250 latops from windows 2000 to WinXp). Before I reinvent the wheel, could anyone let me know if there is any sample code that already exists that I could use as a basic template to start ?? I have searched this forum but could not find anything..Once I get the basic menu working, I would like to add validation to avoid problems.. The menu could be something like this (please see below). I would like to make it nice and friendly. Thanks very much in advance for your help,MENU ==== 1. Backup PC to removal drive. 2. Restore PC from removal drive. 3. ERASE PC with Ghost image.
