About the Automatically Launched Utilities

The following utilities are automatically launched:

•File Based Write Filter - Upon system start, the File Based Write Filter utility is automatically launched. It provides a secure environment for thin client computing by protecting the thin client from undesired flash memory writes. The active or inactive status of the filter is indicated by the color of the File Based Write Filter status icon in the system tray of the taskbar. For more information about the File Based Write Filter, refer to "Using the File Based Write Filter (FBWF)."

Note

Changes made to the thin client configurations are lost when the thin client is restarted unless the files of the File Based Write Filter cache are flushed/ committed during the current system session. For procedures on flushing, refer to "Configuring the Thin Client," and "Using the File Based Write Filter (FBWF)."

•NetXClean - Upon system start, the NetXClean utility is automatically launched. NetXClean is a clean-up utility that keeps extraneous information from being stored on the local disk. If you want to keep certain profile configurations (for example, printers), be sure to configure NetXClean to refrain from cleaning up any number of explicitly declared profiles. For more information about NetXClean, refer to "Understanding the NetXClean Utility."

•VNC Server - Upon successful thin client logon, the Windows VNC Server utility is automatically launched. VNC allows the thin client desktop to be accessed remotely for administration and support. For more information about VNC, refer to "Using WinVNC to Shadow a Thin Client."

•Time Synchronization Utility - Upon successful thin client logon, the time synchronization utility dialog box displays. This feature can be disabled by an administrator (locally or remotely) if desired. For more information about time synchronization, refer to "Synchronizing Thin Client Time with Neutron."
