Automatically launched utilities
The following utilities start automatically after you turn on the system, or after you log in to the thin client:
• Unied Write Filter—After you turn on the system, the Unied Write Filter utility starts automatically. The icon in the notication area
of the taskbar indicates the active or inactive status of the Unied Write Filter. For more information, see Using the Unied Write Filter
(UWF).
NOTE
: While the Dell Wyse Write Filter icons and functionality are currently supported, Dell recommends you to use the
UWF as described in the Microsoft documentation available at www.microsoft.com, and navigate to the Unied Write
Filter documentation.
• Application Launch Manager— The Application Launch Manager (ALM) version 1.0 enables you to start any application based on pre-
dened events such as service startup, user log o or system shutdown in session zero. The application also allows you to congure
multi-level logs which is essential for easy troubleshooting.
• xData Cleanup Manager— xData Cleanup Manager (xDCM) version 1.0 keeps extraneous information from being stored on the local
disk. xDCM can be used to automatically clean-up directories used for temporary caching of information. Clean-up is triggered on either
service startup, user logo, or system shutdown. It does the clean-up invisibly to the user and is completely congurable.
• VNC Server—After you log in to your thin client, the Windows VNC Server utility starts automatically. VNC allows a thin client desktop
to be accessed remotely for administration and support. For more information, see Using Tight VNC to Shadow a thin client.
Utilities aected by log o, restart, and shut down
The following utilities are aected by logging o, restarting, and shutting down the thin client device:
• Unied Write Filter—After you turn on the system, the Unied Write Filter utility starts automatically. Dell recommends you to use the
UWF as described in the Microsoft documentation. For more information, see www.microsoft.com, and navigate to the Unied Write
Filter documentation.
