Table 2‑1. Values That Can Be Used with the action Query (Continued)
Value Description

Reset button on a physical PC. In Horizon Client 3.0, if you specify
an application, the action will be ignored.

desktop. If you specify an application, the action will be ignored or
the end user will see the warning message "Invalid URI action."

the device. This query is implicitly set if you specify the unattended query.
To use this query, you must set the action query to start-session or else not
have an action query. Valid values are true and false. An example of the
syntax is connectUSBOnInsert=true.
connectUSBOnStartup
(For Horizon Client 1.7 and later) Redirects all USB devices that are currently
connected to the client system to the desktop. This query is implicitly set if
you specify the unattended query. To use this query, you must set the action
query to start-session or else not have an action query. Valid values are
true and false. An example of the syntax is connectUSBOnStartup=true.

query, you must set the action query to start-session or else not have an
action query.

Examples of vmware-view URIs

or on a Web page. Your end users can click these links to, for example, launch a particular remote desktop
with the startup options you specify.
URI Syntax Examples
Each URI example is followed by a description of what the end user sees after clicking the URI link.
