If a published application creates a Windows System Tray item, that item also appears in the system
tray on your Windows client computer. By default, the system tray icons only appear to show
notifications, but you can customize this behavior just as you do with natively installed applications.
Note If you open the Control Panel to customize the notification area icons, the names of the icons
for published applications are listed as VMware Horizon Client - application name.
Saving Documents in a Published Application
With certain published 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 find out where documents created in published applications are
saved in your environment.
