Table 3‑7. Horizon Client Configuration Template: General Settings (Continued)
Setting Description
Disable sharing files and
folders
(User Conguration seing)
Species whether client drive redirection functionality is available in
Horizon Client.
When this seing is set to Enabled, all client drive redirection functionality is
disabled in Horizon Client, including the ability to open local les with remote
applications. In addition, the following elements are hidden in the Horizon Client
user interface:
n
Sharing panel in the Seings dialog box
n
Share Folders item in the Option menu in a remote desktop
n
Sharing item for Horizon Client in the system tray
n
Sharing dialog box that appears the rst time you connect to a remote
desktop or application after you connect to a server
When this seing is set to Disabled, the client drive redirection feature is fully
functional. If this seing is not congured, the default value is Disabled. This
seing is not congured by default.
Always hide the remote
floating language (IME) bar
for Hosted Apps
(Computer and User Conguration
seing)
Forces the oating language bar o for application sessions. When this seing is
enabled, the oating language bar is never shown in a remote application session,
regardless of whether the local IME feature is enabled. When this seing is
disabled, the oating language bar is shown only if the local IME feature is
disabled. This seing is disabled by default.
Put icon cache in user's
Local profile folder
(Computer Conguration seing)
Species whether Horizon Client places its icon cache les in the user's Local
folder instead of in the previously used Roaming folder.
When this seing is set to Enabled, Horizon Client places its icon cache les in the
user's Local folder. When you rst start Horizon Client, it moves any existing
cache les from the Roaming folder to the Local folder and places new cache les
in the Local folder. Enabling this policy can help improve the response time of
remote applications when roaming proles are used by avoiding syncing cache
les.
If this seing is not congured, the default value is Disabled. This seing is not
congured by default.
Allow opening local files in
hosted applications
(User Conguration seing)
Species whether Horizon Client registers local handlers for the le extensions
that hosted applications support.
When this seing is set to Disabled, Horizon Client does not register any le
extension handlers and does not allow the user to override the seing.
When this seing is set to Enabled, Horizon Client always registers le extension
handlers. By default, le extension handlers are registered, but users can disable
the feature in the Horizon Client user interface by using the Turn on the ability to
open a local  with a remote application from the local  system seing on
the Sharing panel in the Seings dialog box. For more information, see “Share
Access to Local Folders and Drives,” on page 72.
If this seing is not congured, the default value is Enabled. This seing is not
congured by default.
USB Settings for Client GPOs
You can dene USB policy seings for both the agent and Horizon Client for Windows. On connection,
Horizon Client downloads the USB policy seings from the agent and uses them in conjunction with the
Horizon Client USB policy seings to decide which devices it will allow to be available for redirection from
the host machine.
The following table describes each policy seing for spliing composite USB in the Horizon Client
Conguration ADM and ADMX template les. The seings apply at computer level. Horizon Client
preferentially reads the seings from the GPO at computer level, and otherwise from the registry at
HKLM\Software\Policies\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Client\USB. For a description of how Horizon applies
the policies for spliing composite USB devices, see the topics about using policies to control USB
redirection, in the Conguring Remote Desktop Features in Horizon 7 document.
