Horizon Client starts and the user is taken to the login prompt for connecting to the
view.mycompany.com server.
7
vmware-view://view.mycompany.com/Primary%20Desktop?action=reset
Horizon Client starts 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 conrm the reset operation for Primary Desktop. After the reset occurs,
depending on the type of client, the user might see a message that indicates whether the reset was
successful.
N This action is available only if a View administrator has enabled this feature for end users.

vmware-view://view.mycompany.com/Primary%20Desktop?action=start-
session&connectUSBOnStartup=true
This URI has the same eect as the rst example, and all USB devices connected to the client system are
redirected to the remote desktop.
9
vmware-view://
This URI starts Horizon Client if it is not running, or brings Horizon Client to the foreground if it is
running.

vmware-view://10.10.10.10/My%20Notepad++?args=%22My%20new%20file.txt%22
Launches My Notepad++ on server 10.10.10.10 and passes the argument My new file.txt in the
application launch command. Spaces and double quotes use percent escaping. The lename is enclosed
in double quotes because it contains spaces.
You can also type this command at the Windows command line prompt by using the following syntax:
vmware-view.exe --serverURL 10.10.10.10 --appName "My Notepad++" --args "\"my new.txt\""
In this example, double quotes are escaped by using the characters \".
11
vmware-view://10.10.10.10/Notepad++%2012?args=a.txt%20b.txt
Launches Notepad++ 12 on server 10.10.10.10 and passes the argument a.text b.txt in the application
launch command. Because the argument is not enclosed in quotes, a space separates the lenames and
the two les are opened separately in Notepad++.
N Applications can dier in the way they use command line arguments. For example, if you pass
the argument a.txt b.txt to Wordpad, Wordpad will open only one le, a.txt.
HTML Code Examples
You can use URIs to make hypertext links and buons to include in emails or on Web pages. The following
examples show how to use the URI from the rst URI example to code a hypertext link that says, Test Link,
and a buon that says, .
