Saving Documents in a Remote Application
With certain remote applications, such as Microsoft Word or WordPad, you can create and save documents.
Where these documents are saved depends on your company's network environment. For example, your
documents might be saved to a home share mounted on your local computer.
Contact your system administrator to nd out where documents created in remote applications are saved in
your environment.
Configure Application Reconnection Behavior
Running applications might remain open when Horizon Client disconnects from a server. You can congure
how running applications behave when Horizon Client reconnects to the server.
An administrator can disable the application reconnection behavior seings in Horizon Client.
Procedure
1 In the desktop and application selector window of Horizon Client, right-click a remote application and
select .
2 In the Remote Applications pane that appears, select an application reconnection behavior seing.
Option Description
Ask to reconnect to open
applications
Horizon Client noties you that you have one or more remote applications
running when you reconnect to the server. You can click Reconnect to
applications to reopen the application windows, or Not Now to not
reopen the application windows.
Reconnect automatically to open
applications
Application windows for running applications automatically reopen when
you reconnect to the server.
Do not ask to reconnect and do not
automatically reconnect
Horizon Client does not prompt you to reopen running applications and
running application windows do not reopen when you reconnect to the
server.
3 Click OK to save your changes.
The seing takes eect the next time Horizon Client connects to the server.
Use a Local IME with Remote Applications
When using non-English keyboards and locales, you can use an IME (input method editor) installed in the
local client system to send non-English characters to a remote application.
You can also use hot keys and icons in the notication area (system tray) of the local client system to switch
to a dierent IME. No IME is required to be installed in the server that hosts the remote application.
When this feature is turned on, the local IME is used. If an IME is installed and congured on the server that
hosts the remote application, that remote IME is ignored.
By default the feature is disabled. Whenever you change the seing to turn the feature on or o, you must
disconnect from the server and log in again before the change can take eect.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that one or more IMEs are installed in the client system.
n
Verify that the input language on the local client system matches the language used in the IME.
