If you have two or more monitors, but you want a remote desktop window to appear on only one monitor, you can configure the remote desktop window to open on a single monitor.

Prerequisites

You must have two or more monitors.

Procedure

  1. Start Horizon Client and connect to a server.
  2. Open the Settings dialog box for the remote desktop.
    • Click the Settings (gear) icon in the upper-right corner of the desktop and application selection window and select the remote desktop in the left pane.
    • Right-click the remote desktop in the desktop and application selection window and select Settings.
  3. From the Connect Via drop-down menu, select PCoIP or VMware Blast.
    The Connect Via drop-down menu appears only if a Horizon administrator has enabled it.
  4. From the Display drop-down menu, select Window - Large, Window - Small, or Custom.
    Window - Large sets the window size to 1904 x 978 pixels. Window - Small sets the window size to 640 x 480 pixels. If you select Custom, you can select a specific window size.
  5. To save your changes, click Apply.
  6. To close the dialog box, click OK.

Results

By default, the remote desktop window opens on the primary monitor. You can drag the remote desktop window to a non-primary monitor, and the next time you open the remote desktop, the remote desktop window appears on that same monitor. The window opens, is centered in the monitor, and uses the window size that you selected for the display mode, not a size that you might have created by dragging the window to resize it.
