FAQ:
- Q: How do I log out of this desktop?
A: You can simploy log out as you would on any windows machine by clicking on the Windows Start, or choose "Ctrl+Alt+Del" or 'Disconnect' from the Citrix navigation bar at the top of the Citrix desktop.
If you do not log off but simply disconnect the session; it will remain active on the server for 30 minutes and then log you off, so make sure you save your work before disconnecting!
- Q: Can I move the desktop to another monitor
A: Yes, if it opens in full-screen view, you can open the Citrix menu and choose 'Window' then move it around like any other application
- Q: How and where do I save my files?
A: When you do a File Open or File Save from any application and the dialog box appears, make sure This PC is expanded, and you will see your local disk and your Student Network Drive(s). Saving to the network ensures that your files are backed up. Saving to your local drive means the files are available to you off-line. Make the best selection for your needs. If you save to the C: drive, make sure you save to the C drive on your computer and not the C: drive on the vm. The local drive on the vm will delete when you sign off.
- Q: I get a "smart card" error when I try to go to myworkspace.smccme.edu.
