Table 3‑7. Horizon Client Configuration Template: General Settings
Setting Description
Always on top
(User Conguration seing)
Determines whether the Horizon Client window is always the topmost window.
Enabling this seing prevents the Windows taskbar from obscuring a full-screen
Horizon Client window. This seing is disabled by default.

the selector after launching
an item" check box
(Computer and User Conguration
seing)
Sets whether the Hide the selector after launching an item check box is selected
by default.
This seing is disabled by default.
Determines if the VMware View
Client should use proxy.pac
file
(Computer Conguration seing)
(View 4.6 and earlier releases only) Determines whether Horizon Client uses a
Proxy Auto Cong (PAC) le. Enabling this seing causes Horizon Client to use a
PAC le.
A PAC le (commonly called proxy.pac) helps Web browsers and other user
agents nd the appropriate proxy server for a particular URL or Web site request.
If you enable this seing on a multi-core machine, the WinINet application that
Horizon Client uses to nd the proxy server information might crash. Disable this
seing if this problem occurs on your machine.
This seing is disabled by default.
N This seing applies to direct connections only. It does not aect tunnel
connections.
