Reordering View Server and Remote Desktop Shortcuts

Each time you connect to a View server, Horizon View 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.
After you connect to a View server, the available desktops on that server appear in the Desktop Selector
window. You can reorder these remote desktop shortcuts by selecting a shortcut and dragging it to a new
position on the Desktop Selector window.
