User accounts made easy

HomeRoom provides an easy way change users in a shared environment, like a primary school's computer lab. Instead of creating a separate user account for each student, and all the administration that requires (domains, server licenses, etc), you simply create a folder for each student on a shared network directory. It will even save you money because you won't need to use Windows 2003 Server and buy additional licenses.

HomeRoom automatically inspects the shared directory, and discovers the users. Users simply double click their name in their year group, and their Recent Files, My Documents and My Pictures are set to the shared network folder.

In addition user preferences like swapping mouse buttons (for people who are left handed), and color schemes are restored.

Easy to Setup

Simply create a directory structure like the one shown to the right. HomeRoom will automatically search the top of the directory you specify, and create groups for each directory at the next level. As you click on the groups, the list of users will appear in a list to the right. Double clicking a user will automatically switch to the selected settings.

Easy to Use

The program automatically runs when a user first logs in, and then minimizes itself into a small icon on your taskbar. Simply double click the notebook to display the window shown at the right. Then click on the year group, and double click the user. That's it! As a result, all of the users files are now saved in a single location, and you can easily back up all of the work from a single location.

Save Administration Time and Money If you're looking to set up a file server for your school, you could use a server running Linux (as described on the University of Nebraska at Lincoln website), or use trusty old Windows 98 instead of purchasing Windows 2003 server, which costs over $600 for just 20 additional users on top of the $999 to purchase. Using HomeRoom cuts that cost substantially, with a single license fee for your entire school, irrespective of the number of PC's you have. So, try the software now by clicking the Free Trial button below, and find out just how easy it is to set up and use.
