Option Description
Close After Disconnect Makes the VMware Horizon View client close automatically after users log out of their
desktops or the session terminates with an error.
This option is a security feature designed so that a user does not need to take an
additional step to fully log out after they are nished with their desktop session.
This option is enabled by default for security purposes but can be disabled if users nd
that they are often switching to a new desktop pool after logging out of a session and do
not want to fully log in again.
Hide top Menu bar Makes the top menu bar invisible for users.
This option enabled by default. Disable it if users prefer to access options for window
size or desktop pool selection in a VMware Horizon View session.
