Switch Desktops or Applications
If you are connected to a remote desktop, you can switch to another desktop. You can also connect to remote
applications while you are connected to a remote desktop.
Procedure
u
Select a remote desktop or application from the same server or a different server.
Option Action
Choose a different desktop or
application on the same server
Perform one of the following actions:
n
To keep the current desktop and also connect to another remote
desktop, select Window > VMware Horizon View Client (
Horizon Client 3.0) or Window > VMware Horizon Client (
Horizon Client 3.1 and later) from the menu bar and double-click the
shortcut for the other desktop. That desktop opens in a new window
so that you have multiple desktops open. You can switch between
desktops from the Window menu on the menu bar.
n
To close the current desktop and connect to another desktop, select
Connection > Disconnect from the menu bar and double-click the
shortcut for the other desktop.
n
To open another application, double-click the shortcut for the other
application. That application opens in a new window. You can have
multiple applications open and you can switch between them by
clicking in an application window.
Choose a different desktop or
application on a different server
If you are entitled to multiple desktops or applications, so that the desktop
and application selection window is open, click the Disconnect from
Server button in the left side of the toolbar in the desktop and application
selection window and disconnect from the server. If you are entitled to
only one desktop or application, and the desktop and application selection
window is not open, you can select File > Disconnect from Server from
the menu bar and then connect to a different server.
Log Off or Disconnect
With some configurations, if you disconnect from a remote desktop without logging off, applications in the
desktop can remain open. You can also disconnect from a server and leave remote applications running.
Even if you do not have a remote desktop open, you can log off of the remote desktop operating system.
Using this feature has the same result as sending Ctrl+Alt+Del to the desktop and then clicking Log Off.
NOTE The Windows key combination Ctrl+Alt+Del is not supported in remote desktops. To use the
equivalent of pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del, select Connection > Send Ctrl-Alt-Del from the menu bar.
Alternatively, you can press Fn-Control-Option-Delete on an Apple keyboard.
