Free Tool to Manage Default Printer Settings
Ctrl-Alt-Del IT Consultancy has been modifying and adding new free tools to their web site lately. One of the cool new tools is called DEFSET. DEFSET is a standalone Windows GUI tool designed to manage default printer selections on a per user basis. This tool is suited to users accessing a Terminal Server/ Citrix session and is designed to retain a user’s default printer choice. DEFSET allows the user to change their default printer during program execution, and writes this information to an ini file located in the users individual windows directory. This information is then used to remember the selected the default printer for later sessions.

This program is almost there. It would be better if it could be set so that when it runs on login it checks to see if the default printer is set correctly and if it is then it stays minimised. If it finds it has been changed then you could have either the option for it to popup on screen and be manually reset or to do it automatically without the user even noticing that their default printer was incorrect when they logged in.
Actually is it possible to have this program just maintain the default printer on login without user intervention? Is there some switch that could be used to make do this rather than popping up each time you log in?
