Table 2‑4. Valid Values for the desktopLayout Query
Value Description
fullscreen
Full screen on one monitor. This value is the default.
multimonitor
Full screen on all monitors.
windowLarge
Large window.
windowSmall
Small window.
WxH Custom resolution, where you specify the width by height, in
pixels. An example of the syntax is desktopLayout=1280x800.
desktopProtocol For remote desktops, valid values are RDP, PCOIP, and BLAST. For
example, to specify PCoIP, use the syntax desktopProtocol=PCOIP.
domainName The NETBIOS domain name associated with the user who is connecting to
the remote desktop or published application. For example, you might use
mycompany rather than mycompany.com.
useExisting If this option is set to true, only one Horizon Client instance can run. If
users try to connect to a second server, they must log out of the first server,
causing desktop and application sessions to be disconnected. If this option
is set to false, multiple Horizon Client instances can run and users can
connect to multiple servers at the same time. The default is true. An
example of the syntax is useExisting=false.
unauthenticatedAccess
Enabled
If this option is set to true, the Unauthenticated Access feature is enabled
by default. The Log in anonymously using Unauthenticated Access
option is visible in the user interface and is selected. If this option is set to
false, the Unauthenticated Access feature is disabled. The Log in
anonymously using Unauthenticated Access setting is hidden and
disabled. When this option is set to "", the Unauthenticated Access feature
is disabled and the Log in anonymously using Unauthenticated Access
setting is visible from the user interface and deselected. An example of the
syntax is unauthenticatedAccessEnabled=true.
unauthenticatedAccess
Account
Sets the account to use if the Unauthenticated Access feature is enabled. If
Unauthenticated Access is disabled, then this query is ignored. An example
of the syntax using the anonymous1 user account is
unauthenticatedAccessAccount=anonymous1.
Examples of vmware-view URIs
You can create hypertext links or buttons with the vmware-view URI scheme and include these links in
email or on a Web page. Your end users can click these links to, for example, open a particular remote
desktop with the startup options you specify.
