Reset a Remote Desktop or Application
Resetting a remote desktop shuts down and restarts the desktop. Resetting a remote application quits the
application. You might need to reset a desktop or application if the desktop operating system or application
stops responding.
Resetting a remote desktop is the equivalent of pressing the Reset button on a physical PC to force the PC to
restart. Any files that are open on the remote desktop will be closed without being saved first.
Resetting a remote application quits all remote applications and logs off all of your remote application
sessions. Unsaved changes in remote applications might be lost.
NOTE A View administrator can disable the reset feature for certain types of desktops. For more
information, see the View Administration document.
