Share USB storage devices with
remote desktops and applications
Select the Allow access to removable storage check box. The client drive
redirection feature automatically shares all USB storage devices inserted in
your client system and all FireWire and Thunderbolt-connected external
drives. You do not need to select a specic device to share.
N USB storage devices already connected to a remote desktop or
application with the USB redirection feature are not shared.
If this check box is deselected, you can use the USB redirection feature to
connect USB storage devices to remote desktops and applications.
Do not show the Sharing dialog box
when you connect to a remote
desktop or application
Select the Do not show dialog when connecting to a desktop or

If this check box is deselected, the Sharing dialog box appears the rst time

Sharing dialog box. If you then connect to another desktop or application,
you do not see the dialog box again. To see the dialog box again, you must
disconnect from the server and then log in again.

Connecting to a Server When Horizon Client Starts
The Always connect at launch seing is enabled by default for the rst server that you connect to with
Horizon Client. When this seing is enabled for a server, Horizon Client always connects to that server
when you start Horizon Client.
To disable this behavior for a server, select the server shortcut on the Horizon Client Home screen, press
Control-click on the Apple keyboard, and deselect the Always connect at launch seing. If you have other
server shortcuts on your Horizon Client Home screen, you can enable the Always connect at launch seing
for a dierent server.
You can enable the Always connect at launch seing for only one server at a time.
