Cisco Cisco Virtualization Experience Client 2111 Administrator's Guide

The Classic Desktop has a Cisco default background with a horizontal task bar at the bottom of the 
screen. The number of icons that can be displayed on the desktop depends on the desktop resolution and 
administrator configuration.

Use the following guidelines:

Icons representing available server connections and published applications are displayed on the 
background. Hovering the mouse pointer over an icon pops-up information about the connection. 
Right-clicking (or left-clicking if the mouse buttons are reversed) on an icon opens a Connection 
Settings dialog box which displays additional information about the connection.

A server connection/published application can be opened by double-clicking a desktop icon or a user 
can navigate to the desktop icon they want by using tab key and pressing Enter to initiate the 
connection.

The desktop menu may be opened by clicking the mouse button on the desktop background or by 
clicking on the User Name on the task bar.

If configured to display (by an administrator), the volume control is displayed in the right corner of 
the task bar and the current time and date are shown when the cursor is placed on the time.

The zero client is capable of synchronizing its clock to time provided by a Simple Network Time 
Protocol (SNTP) server.

Press Ctrl-Alt-Up Arrow to toggle between window display modes.

Press Ctrl-Alt-Down Arrow to open a selection box for toggling between the desktop, Connect 
Manager, and currently-active connections.

Lock the zero client at any time by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Left Arrow or Ctrl-Alt-Right Arrow.

Keyboard shortcuts are supported. Use the left Alt-Underlined Letter on the keyboard for keyboard 
shortcuts (the right Alt-Underlined Letter combination is not currently supported).

Use the System Preference dialog box to switch the left and right buttons (see 

In addition to the standard two-button mouse, the zero client supports a Microsoft Wheel Mouse 
(used for scrolling). Other similar types of a wheel mouse may or may not work.

You can copy and paste between application sessions and between sessions and the desktop, 
however, this function depends on session server configurations.

Right-clicking on the desktop provides a shortcut menu with the following options:

Administrator Mode—Allows administrators to configure various settings locally on zero client.

Hide all windows—Brings the full desktop to the foreground.

Copy to clipboard—Copies an image of the full screen, current window, or event log to the 
clipboard. The clipboard contents can then be pasted to an ICA or an RDP session.
