Setting Computer User Description
Put icon cache in
user's Local profile
folder
X 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.
Disable opening local
files in hosted
applications
X Species whether Horizon Client registers local handlers for the
le extensions that hosted applications support.
When this seing is set to Enabled, 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 Disabled, 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
with Client Drive Redirection,” on page 76.
If this seing is not congured, the default value is Disabled. This
seing is not congured by default.
Automatically install
shortcuts when
configured on the
Horizon server
X When application and desktop shortcuts are congured on a
Connection Server instance, this seing species how and whether
the shortcuts are installed in the Start menu on client machines
when users connect to the server.
When this seing is set to Enabled, shortcuts are automatically
installed on client machines. Users are not prompted to install the
shortcuts.
When this seing is set to Disabled, shortcuts are never installed
on client machines. Users are not prompted to install the shortcuts.
When this seing is not congured, users are prompted to install
the shortcuts. This seing is not congured by default.
