Setting Computer User Description
Always on top
X 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.
Default value of the
"Hide the selector
after launching an
item" check box
X X Sets whether the Hide the selector after launching an item check
box is selected by default.
This seing is disabled by default.
Disable time zone
forwarding
X Determines whether time zone synchronization between the
remote desktop and the connected client is disabled.
Disable toast
notifications
X X Determines whether to disable toast notications from
Horizon Client.
Enable this seing if you do not want the user to see toast
notications in the corner of the screen.
N If you enable this seing, the user does not see a ve-
minute warning when the Session Timeout function is active.
Disallow passing
through client
information in a
nested session
X Species whether Horizon Client should be prevented from
passing through client information in a nested session. When
enabled, if Horizon Client is running inside of a Horizon session, it
will send the actual physical client information instead of the VM
device information. This seing applies to the following pieces of
client information: device name and domain, client type, IP
address, and MAC address. This seing is disabled by default,
which means passing through client information in a nested
session is allowed.
Don't check monitor
alignment on spanning
X By default, the client desktop does not span multiple monitors if
the screens do not form an exact rectangle when they are
combined. Enable this seing to override the default. This seing
is disabled by default.
Enable multi-media
acceleration
X Determines whether multimedia redirection (MMR) is enabled on
the client.
MMR does not work correctly if the Horizon Client video display
hardware does not have overlay support.
Enable relative mouse
X X (View 5.2 and later releases only) Enables the relative mouse when
using the PCoIP display protocol. Relative mouse mode improves
mouse behavior for certain graphics applications and games. If the
remote desktop does not support relative mouse then this seing
will not be used. This seing is disabled by default.
Enable the shade
X Determines whether the shade menu bar at the top of the
Horizon Client window is visible. This seing is enabled by
default.
N The shade menu bar is disabled by default for kiosk mode.
