user for a user name, domain name, and password. After a successful login, Horizon Client displays

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 filename 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

filenames and the two files are opened separately in Notepad++.

Note Applications can differ 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 file, a.txt.
