Configure Reconnect Behavior for Remote Applications
If a user disconnects from a View server without closing a remote application, Horizon Client prompts the
user to reopen that application the next time the user connects to the server. You can change this behavior
by modifying the Reconnect Behavior setting in Horizon Client.
Prerequisites
Obtain the credentials you need to connect to the server, such as a user name and password or RSA SecurID
user name and passcode.
Procedure
1 On the Horizon Client Home screen, double-click the server icon.
2 If prompted, supply your RSA user name and passcode, your Active Directory user name and
password, or both.
3 Click the Settings button (gear icon) in the upper right corner of the desktop and application selection
window.
4 Select Applications in the left pane of the Settings dialog box.
5 Select an application reconnect behavior option.
These options determine how Horizon Client behaves when a user connects to the server and remote
applications are still running.
Option Description
Ask to reconnect to open
applications
Horizon Client shows the message You have one or more remote
applications running. Would you like to open them now? . Users can
respond by clicking Reconnect to Applications or Not Now. Users can
also select the Don't show this message again. check box to suppress the
message in the future. This setting is enabled by default.
Reconnect automatically to open
applications
Horizon Client immediately reopens any running applications.
Do not ask to reconnect and do not
automatically reconnect
Horizon Client does not prompt users to reopen running applications, nor
does it reopen running applications. This setting has the same effect as the
Don't show this message again. check box.
6 Click Continue to save your changes.
The new setting takes effect the next time a user connects to the server.
Remove a View Server Shortcut from the Home Screen
After you connect to a View server, a server shortcut is saved to the Horizon Client Home screen.
You can remove a View Connection Server shortcut by selecting the shortcut and pressing the Delete key or
by Control-clicking or right-clicking the shortcut on the Home screen and selecting Delete.
You cannot remove remote desktop or application shortcuts that appear after you connect to a server.
Reordering Shortcuts
You can reorder View server, remote desktop, and remote application shortcuts.
Each time you connect to a View server, Horizon Client saves a server shortcut to the Home screen. You can
reorder these View server shortcuts by selecting a shortcut and dragging it to a new position on the Home
screen.
