Administrator Guide

Zero toolbar
The Zero toolbar usually appears at the left corner of the Zero Desktop. However, depending on administrator configurations,
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 configure the toolbar settings using either a dialog box, see Configuring the remote configurations or the
SysMode parameter in the wnos.ini file, see Dell Wyse ThinOS INI Guide.
