b. Application (127 characters maximum) and Working Directory (63 characters maximum)—Enter an initialization string
and arguments, including an associated working directory, that you want to start automatically on the server when the
connection is made.
c. Use TS Gateway—Enables the use of Terminal Services Gateway (TS Gateway) server when connecting. If required,
then enter the IP address or URL of the TS Gateway server in the Server name box. You can also enable Use Same
Info (if the server credentials are the same credentials as your Remote Desktop Credentials (Host remote computer
credentials) in the Login Username, Password, and Domain name fields) or disable Use Same Info and enter the Server
name, User name, Password, and Domain name of the TS Gateway server if required.
NOTE: A TS Gateway server is a type of gateway that enables authorized users to connect to remote computers
on a corporate network from any computer with an Internet connection. A TS Gateway server enables Remote
Desktop connections to a corporate network from the Internet without having to set up virtual private network
(VPN) connections. Ask your network administrator whether you need to specify a TS Gateway server.
● User Name—Enter a user name for the connection.
● Password—Enter the password.
● Domain—Enter the domain name.

a. Wallpaper—When selected, disables the desktop wallpaper.
b. Menu / Window animation—When selected, disables the menu or window animation.
c. Theme—When selected, disables the desktop themes.
d. Show content when dragging—By default, when you grab a Window by the title bar and move it around, the contents
of the window will move with it. Select this to disable this content view so that only the outline of the window moves
when dragging it, until you drop the window. This option can be beneficial, as it uses less processing power.
e. Font smoothing—Converts vector text to bitmap for better display.
f. Auto-connect to local devices—Select any options (Printers, Serials, USB, Smart Cards, and Disks) to have the thin
client automatically connect to the devices.
