I have also been using Mac Control from BDW for the past two years. The
control feature is wonderful and somewhat easy to use. Along with
these products, BDW has other software goodies that allow you to control
remote macs on the networks, broadcast file, etc. Check them out.

Our entire district is using Mac Control. We probably have over 800 Mac
with Mac Control. What this software does is give you the "real"
desktop without some strange picture based shell. You can organize and
manage the desktop/icons without trashing or harming it in any way. You
turn the computer on and the icons are back the way you had them in the
first place.

Good software and good price for it!

Just an opinion.
