Remote Desktop Connection

The Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection allows an administrator to access a Windows XPe-based thin client (disabled by default) or a Windows Terminal Server from a remote location. With this connection, the administrator can take control of the local thin client and its applications.

This section gives a general overview of the XPe User and

Administrator desktop features and functions.

User desktop

The desktop that displays when you are logged on as a user is a standard Windows XP desktop, except that the Citrix Program Neighborhood, Remote Desktop Connection, and Internet Explorer are the only icons present. These selections are also available from the Start menu. If the terminal emulator application is installed, you can open it from Start > Programs.

✎Links to remote ICA NFuse-published applications may also be listed on the Start menu and/or displayed as icons on the desktop. Refer to the Citrix documentation for information and instructions.

For information about the functionality of the standard Windows XPe desktop and Start menu items, refer to the applicable Microsoft documentation at:

For the Web addresses of the Citrix Program Neighborhood and Remote Desktop Connection help documents, see “Programs menu extended selections” on page 10.

✎The Control Panel, available to users by clicking Start > Control Panel, provides access to a limited set of resources for changing Windows XPe user preferences. You must log on as Administrator to access the extended set of system resources.
