Table 3‑7. Horizon Client Configuration Template: General Settings (Continued)
Setting Computer User Description
Tunnel proxy bypass
address list
X Specifies a list of tunnel addresses. The proxy server is not used for
these addresses. Use a semicolon (;) to separate multiple entries.
URL for Horizon Client
online help
X Specifies an alternate URL from which Horizon Client can retrieve help
pages. This setting is intended for use in environments that cannot
retrieve the remotely-hosted help system because they do not have
internet access.
URL for Horizon Client
online update
X Specifies an alternate URL from which Horizon Client can retrieve
updates. This setting is intended for use in an environment that defines
its own private/personal update center. If it is not enabled, the VMware
official update server is used.
Pin the shade
X Determines whether the pin on the shade at the top of the Horizon Client
window is enabled and auto-hiding of the menu bar does not occur. This
setting has no effect if the shade is disabled. This setting is enabled by
default.
Disable desktop
disconnect messages
X X Specifies whether messages that are normally shown upon desktop
disconnection should be disabled. These messages are shown by
default.
Disable sharing files
and folders
X Specifies whether client drive redirection functionality is available in
Horizon Client.
When this setting is set to Enabled, all client drive redirection
functionality is disabled in Horizon Client, including the ability to open
local files with published applications. In addition, the following elements
are hidden in the Horizon Client user interface:
n
Sharing panel in the Settings dialog box
n
Share Folders item in the Option menu in a remote desktop
n
Sharing item for Horizon Client in the system tray
n
Sharing dialog box that appears the first time you connect to a
remote desktop or application after you connect to a server
When this setting is set to Disabled, the client drive redirection feature is
fully functional. This setting is disabled by default.
Always hide the remote
floating language
(IME) bar for Hosted
Apps
X X Forces the floating language bar off for application sessions. When this
setting is enabled, the floating language bar is never shown in a
published application session, regardless of whether the local IME
feature is enabled. When this setting is disabled, the floating language
bar is shown only if the local IME feature is disabled. This setting is
disabled by default.
Put icon cache in
user's Local profile
folder
X Specifies whether Horizon Client places its icon cache files in the user's
Local folder instead of in the previously used Roaming folder.
When this setting is set to Enabled, Horizon Client places its icon cache
files in the user's Local folder. When you first start Horizon Client, it
moves any existing cache files from the Roaming folder to the Local
folder and places new cache files in the Local folder. Enabling this
policy can help improve the response time of published applications
when roaming profiles are used by avoiding syncing cache files.
This setting is disabled by default.
