text box is populated with the name fred, and the Domain text box is populated with mycompany. The

view.mycompany.com server.

vmware-view://view.mycompany.com/Primary%20Desktop?action=reset

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.

N This action is available only if a Horizon administrator has enabled the desktop reset feature for

the desktop.

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 restart operation for Primary Desktop.

N This action is available only if a Horizon administrator has enabled the desktop restart feature

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. The lename is enclosed in double quotes because it contains spaces.

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.
