Panic Button
Panic Button is intended to ease the work of people who supports end-users, either sysadmins/helpdesks, or those who simply help friends and family. The idea came about after the software writer was getting increasingly frustrated by reports like 'I had this error message on my computer. It said that the whatsit had caused a thingy operation'. No-one ever wrote down error messages, and could never remember what they said!Download the software
