Abstract: Methods and systems for switching between multiple languages of a remote desktop client operating on a secure boot device are disclosed. A method includes initiating an operating system from the secure boot device and receiving credentials including a user identification and a password. The method also includes booting, from the secure boot device, the operating system in a first language and receiving a selection of a second language different from the first language within a user interface of the operating system. The method further includes performing a desktop reset to execute the operating system in the second language.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reusing a thread for different programmed operations are provided in various embodiments. In one embodiment, different application operations are defined as subclasses of a thread operation class, and a thread is implemented with a thread class. In one embodiment, the application operations can be queued to the thread for scheduled execution using the thread. In another embodiment, a first application operation can start a thread and be executed therewith, while a second application operation can attach to the thread for execution.

Abstract: A system and method for managing a pool of threads for executing thread operations. A thread pool is instantiated which includes a plurality of threads, and a work queue having program controllable states is instantiated. Thread operations are queued to the work queue when the work queue is in a running or suspended state, and when the work queue is in a stopped state requests to queue thread operations are denied. The work queue supports controlled allocation of thread resources to a variety of thread operations.
