You can disconnect from a remote desktop without logging off, so that applications remain open on the
remote desktop.
When you are logged in to the remote desktop, you can disconnect by tapping the Horizon View Client
Tools icon and tapping the Disconnect icon. After you disconnect from a desktop, the Recent Connections
screen appears. For pictures of the icons, see “Horizon View Client Tools,” on page 30.
NOTE A View administrator can configure your desktop to automatically log off when disconnected. In that
case, any open programs in your desktop are stopped.
Log Off from a Desktop
You can log off from a remote desktop operating system, even if you do not have a desktop open in
Horizon View Client.
If you are currently connected to and logged in to a remote desktop, you can use the Windows Start menu
to log off. After Windows logs you off, the desktop is disconnected and the Recent Connections screen
appears.
NOTE Any unsaved files that are open on the remote desktop are closed during the logoff operation.
