Using the Toolbar on Desktop Computers

Remote Desktop Toolbar

When you launch a remote desktop in a web browser on a desktop or laptop computer, the toolbar appears as follows:

The top area of the toolbar is used to drag the toolbar up or down. Click and hold it, and then drag the toolbar to the desired position. The triangle icon is used to show or hide the toolbar items.

The main toolbar items are (from top to bottom):

• Display the remote desktop in full screen on the local computer.
• Display the Shortcuts menu (see below for the menu description).
• Display the remote clipboard. Please see Using the Remote Clipboard for more information.

The Shortcuts menu allows you to send keystrokes and key sequences to the remote desktop:

• Escape. Sends the "Escape" keystroke to the remote desktop.
• Tab. Sends the "Tab" keystroke.
• Backspace. Sends the "Backspace" keystroke.
• Control+Alt+Delete. Sends the Ctrl+Alt+Delete key sequence.
• Print screen. Sends the "Print Screen" keystroke. The screen will be printed to the clipboard of the remote desktop from where you can paste it into an application (e.g. Paint) running on the same remote computer.

Remote Application Toolbar

When you launch a remote application, the toolbar contains just the item that opens the remote clipboard. Please see Using the Remote Clipboard for more information.

Hiding the Toolbar

If you need to completely hide the toolbar, so it will not appear on the end users' screens, you can do it by modifying the configuration file on the server side as follows:

1. Navigate to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\ApplicationServer\2XHTML5Gateway folder.
2. Open the config.ini file.
3. Add the following line to the file: env_hide_panel = true
