HP ThinPro 7.0 - Administrator Guide

TIP: The remote host can be congured to start resources automatically upon login, making the kiosk mode
experience seamless.
The easiest way to congure a thin client for kiosk mode is to switch it to Smart Zero (see Customization
Center on page 60) and congure a connection. When this is done, the following settings are set
automatically:
● The taskbar auto-hides.
● The connection auto-starts.
● The connection auto-reconnects.
● The connection shares the user credentials with the local screen saver.
● The desktop theme is set to that connection type’s default theme.
● The USB redirection protocol in USB Manager is set to that connection type’s protocol.
If you want to congure a thin client for kiosk mode in ThinPro (for example, if you want to use a connection
type available only with ThinPro), manually congure the following settings for the desired connection:
● In Customization Center, set the taskbar to Auto hide.
● In connection’s settings, do the following:
– Set Auto start priority to 1.
– Enable Auto reconnect.
– Enable Share credentials with screensaver, if available.
– For a Web Browser connection only, select the Enable kiosk mode option.
● In USB Manager, set the proper USB redirection protocol, if necessary.
TIP: When in kiosk mode, to minimize the connection and return to the local desktop, press Ctrl+Alt+End.
