desktops. The Remote Experience Agent must be installed on the desktops. If you have the Remote
Experience Agent installed but want to turn off this feature, you can set a registry value on the remote
desktop.
If users have a floating desktop, users’ favorite applications and files can be saved only if Windows roaming
user profiles are configured for the desktop. Administrators can create a default Favorite Applications list
that end users see the first time the sidebar appears.

document. For View Connection Server 6.0 and later servers, see the Setting Up Desktop and Application Pools
in View document.
