Abstract
A customized graphical user interface and method, system, and computer program product for providing the graphical user interface and for automating computer maintenance, security, and communication functions is provided. In one embodiment, the data processing system receives user login information and retrieves a user profile. Based on the user profile, a customized user interface is presented to the user. Only applications and information needed by the user to perform an enterprise defined function are presented to the user in the user interface, thereby eliminating the need for human input in these automated areas, thereby freeing an inexperienced user from wasting time trying to find applications and data needed to perform the user'"'"'s work function. Furthermore, computer maintenance, communications, and security functions are performed with minimal user interaction, if any, further increasing the efficiency of the user in performing work functions and decreasing the training requirements for the user.
