Allow remote desktops and

Select the Allow access to home-directory check box.
Share USB storage devices with
remote desktops and applications
Select the Allow access to removable storage check box. The client drive
redirection feature automatically shares all USB storage devices inserted in your
client system and all FireWire and Thunderbolt-connected external drives. You do
not need to select a specific device to share.
Note USB storage devices already connected to a remote desktop or application
with the USB redirection feature are not shared.
If this check box is deselected, you can use the USB redirection feature to
connect USB storage devices to remote desktops and applications.
Do not show the Sharing dialog box
when you connect to a remote desktop
or application
Select the Do not show dialog when connecting to a desktop or application
check box.
If this check box is deselected, the Sharing dialog box appears the first time you
connect to a desktop or application after you connect to a server. For example, if
you log in to a server and connect to a desktop, you see the Sharing dialog box. If
you then connect to another desktop or application, you do not see the dialog box
again. To see the dialog box again, you must disconnect from the server and then
log in again.
