Administrator Guide

NOTE:

• You can copy and paste between application sessions and between sessions and the desktop, however, this function

depends on session server congurations.

• In addition to the standard two-button mouse, the thin client supports a Microsoft Wheel Mouse used for scrolling. Other

similar types of a wheel mouse may or may not work.

To switch the left and right buttons, use the Peripherals dialog box, see Conguring the peripherals settings.

Zero toolbar

The Zero toolbar usually appears at the left corner of the Zero Desktop. However, depending on administrator congurations, the

toolbar can be removed or hidden. It is shown only when a user moves the mouse pointer over the left edge of the desktop screen.

Administrators can congure the toolbar settings using either a dialog box, see Conguring the remote congurations or the

SysMode parameter in the wnos.ini le, see Dell Wyse ThinOS INI Guide.
