Windows® Embedded 8 Standard for HP Thin Clients Quick Reference Guide

After you remove the USB flash drive and cycle power to the system, the image will unbundle. This

process can take 3–5 minutes, depending on flash drive speed and internal flash size. Do not

interrupt or cycle power to the unit during this process.

Windows Internet Explorer 10

The Windows Internet Explorer browser is installed locally on the thin client. The factory settings for

the browser options limit writing to the flash memory. These settings prevent exhaustion of the limited

amount of flash memory available and should not be modified. You may access another browser

through an ICA or RDP account if you need more browser resources.

Internet Explorer provides a built-in facility to manage pop-up windows, prevents scripts from moving

or resizing windows and status bars—to hide them or obscure other windows—and includes a block

unsafe file transfers feature. For more information, go to
