The first entry Manual.Force.UsePrivateDesktop controls the desktop switching
when there is a forced logon after the first installation of Endpoint Encryption for Files
and Folders. If the option is set to No – the logon dialog box will sit over your current
desktop view. If the option is set to Yes a private desktop (your current desktop
image excluding the icons and taskbar) will appear with the dialog box.
The second entry Manual.UsePrivateDesktop controls the switching when the user
manually triggers a Synchronize from the tray icon menu. If the option is set to No –
the logon dialog box will sit over your current desktop view. If the option is set to Yes
a private desktop(your current desktop image excluding the icons and taskbar) will
appear with the dialog box.
The last entry RequestKey.UsePrivateDesktop controls the desktop switching when
there is an authentication dialog triggered based on accessing encrypted data and the
encryption key is not loaded, i.e. a regular user authentication when accessing
encrypted data. If the option is set to No – the logon dialog box will sit over your
current desktop view. If the option is set to “Yes” a private desktop (your current
desktop image excluding the icons and taskbar) will appear with the dialog box.
