David:
Heya; great suggestions, thanks! We're going to try to incorporate a lot of Window's "built-in" remote-desktop support for the next release, and adding the remote-re/boot stuff would be a naturally good addition.
And while I'll hope you'll use that when it's ready... there's a pretty good tool out there now which may suit your immediate needs:

If that works for you, please tell Steve I said Hi. :)
cheers, Scott

Great product! I use VNC, and it's nice to have a central "location" (program) to manage all my machines.
Suggestions: as you probably know, there's a nice little utility called psshutdown, available here: http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/psshutdown.shtml that lets you shutdown remote machines. (My guess is the folks at sysinternals wouldn't mind you incorporating it, as long as they got some recognition; either that or write your own.) It would be a great addition to Kaboodle. On the flip side (i.e., the startup side), the ability to turn machines on (via wake-on-lan) from Kaboodle would be great too, and that's a little tiny bit of code, as you probably know. I could send you a dll if you want, but it would be written in Delphi (pascal) so you probably wouldn't want the source, and thus you probably wouldn't want the binary!
Anyway, thanks again!
Sincerely,
David Jenkins
