About View Client

Using VMware View™ Client, you can connect to virtual desktops. These help topics provide instructions for connecting to and using virtual desktops.

Connect to Virtual Desktops

After logging in to View Connection Server, you can connect to the virtual desktops that you are authorized to use.

Control Adobe Flash Display

The View administrator sets Adobe Flash content to display in your desktop at a level designed to conserve computing resources. In some cases, these settings can result in low playback quality. By using the mouse pointer in the desktop, you can override the Adobe Flash settings that your View administrator specified.

Log Off from a Desktop

When you are finished using a desktop, you can disconnect and log off from it.

Reset a Desktop

You can reset a desktop from the desktop selection list. When you reset a desktop, the desktop is shut down and restarted, and unsaved data is lost.

Roll Back a Desktop

You can roll back a virtual desktop that you checked out on a different client. Rolling back a checked-out desktop discards changes that you made to the desktop. All changes are lost.
