FireDaemon Zero simplifies the management of Interactive Windows Services on Microsoft Windows. It enables the switching between the logged-in Windows desktop session and Session 0, making the process easier.
Interactive Windows services forced to run in Session 0 due to the release of these operating systems have been difficult to work with since the applet was disabled by default. FireDaemon Zero not only solves the problem, but also enhances your ability to work with interactive services in the following ways:
- Enables interactive services on Windows 7, Server 2008 R2, 8, Server 2012, 8.1, Server 2012 R2, 10 and Server 2016, Server 2019
- Starts the Interactive Services Detection Service, providing a System Tray Notification Area applet across all user sessions.
- Allows you to switch back and forth between your logged-in session and Session 0 by simply double-clicking the Zero applet icon.
- Allows a user to 'steal' Session 0 control from another user.
- Enables you to 'kick' a user off an orphaned Session 0 session.
- Correctly redraws the desktop and windows of applications running in Session 0, avoiding artifacting when switching to Session 0 via RDP.
- Allows indefinite switching to Session 0 with no auto-logoff timeout.
- Starts a custom, minimizable Task Bar on Session 0 that enables you to find and bring front applications running on Session 0.
- Eradicates the default nagging desktop popup warning you that applications are running on Session 0.
- Provides Start Menu shortcuts that enable you to rollback to the default Windows Interactive Services Detection Service.
- Facilitates Session 0 desktop switching via regular Windows, OS-X and Linux RDP/RDC clients, TeamViewer, VNC, etc.
In summary, FireDaemon Zero is a powerful and feature-rich addition to your utility software suite, providing convenient access and control over interactive services running in Session 0.
