Horizon Client is launched and connects to the view.mycompany.com server. In the login box, the User
name text box is populated with the name fred, and the Domain text box is populated with
mycompany. The user must supply only a password. After a successful login, the client connects to the
desktop whose display name is displayed as Finance Desktop, and the user is logged in to the guest
operating system.

Horizon Client is launched, and the user is taken to the login prompt for connecting to the
view.mycompany.com server.

vmware-view://view.mycompany.com/Primary%20Desktop?action=reset
Horizon Client is launched and connects to the view.mycompany.com server. The login box prompts the
user for a user name, domain name, and password. After a successful login, Horizon Client displays a
dialog box that prompts the user to confirm the reset operation for Primary Desktop. After the reset
occurs, depending on the type of client, the user might see a message indicating whether the reset was
successful.
NOTE This action is available only if the View administrator has enabled this feature for end users.

Horizon Client is launched and connects to the view.mycompany.com server. The login box prompts the
user for a user name, domain name, and password. After a successful login, Horizon Client displays a
dialog box that prompts the user to confirm the reset operation for all remote applications. After the
reset occurs, the user sees a message that indicates whether the reset was successful.

vmware-view://
If the client is already running, the Horizon Client app comes to the foreground. If the client is not
already running, Horizon Client is launched and the user sees recent connections, servers, or the initial
Horizon Client screen, depending on whether the user has ever used Horizon Client on the device and
whether the client has previously connected to a server or a remote desktop or application.
HTML Code Examples
You can use URIs to make hypertext links and buttons to include in emails or on Web pages. The following
examples show how to use the URI from the first URI example to code a hypertext link that says, Test Link,
and a button that says, TestButton.
<html>
<body>
<a href="vmware-view://view.mycompany.com/Primary%20Desktop?action=start-session">Test
Link</a><br>
<form><input type="button" value="TestButton" onClick="window.location.href=
'vmware-view://view.mycompany.com/Primary%20Desktop?action=start-session'"></form> <br>
