Table 3‑6. Horizon Client Configuration Administrative Template: RDP Settings (Continued)
Setting Description
Redirect clipboard
Determines whether the local clipboard information is redirected when clients
connect to the remote desktop.
Redirect drives
Determines whether local disk drives are redirected when clients connect to the
remote desktop. By default, local drives are redirected.
Enabling this setting, or leaving it unconfigured, allows data on the redirected
drive on the remote desktop to be copied to the drive on the client computer.
Disable this setting if allowing data to pass from the remote desktop to users' client
computers represents a potential security risk in your deployment. Another
approach is to disable folder redirection in the remote desktop virtual machine by
enabling the Microsoft Windows group policy setting, Do not allow drive
redirection.
The Redirect drives setting applies to RDP only.
Redirect printers
Determines whether local printers are redirected when clients connect to the
remote desktop.
Redirect serial ports
Determines whether local COM ports are redirected when clients connect to the
remote desktop.
Redirect smart cards
Determines whether local smart cards are redirected when clients connect to the
remote desktop.
NOTE This setting applies to both RDP and PCoIP connections.
Redirect supported plug-and-
play devices
Determines whether local plug-and-play and point-of-sale devices are redirected
when clients connect to the remote desktop. This behavior is different from the
redirection that is managed by the USB Redirection component of the agent.
Shadow bitmaps
Determines whether bitmaps are shadowed. This setting has no effect in full-screen
mode.
Show contents of window
while dragging
Determines whether the folder contents appear when users drag a folder to a new
location.
Themes
Determines whether themes appear when clients connect to a remote desktop.
Windows key combination
redirection

key combinations locally.
If this setting is not configured, key combinations are applied locally.
