Click on 'Ok":

Then on Save:

Rules for Microsoft Remote Desktop, BYODAPP Remote Taskbar, Floating Panel and Application Panel

• You can customize your user's work environment by assigning one application out of these four: Microsoft Remote Desktop, BYODAPP Remote TaskBar, Floating Panel and Application Panel.
• If no application is assigned to one user, he will see the Microsoft Remote Desktop which will display the Desktop folder shortcuts.
• If one user has several allocations plus the Microsoft Remote Desktop, he will see a remote desktop.
• If a user has several applications plus the BYODAPP TaskBar, he will see the TaskBar displaying his Desktop folder' shortcuts.

Running scripts/programs on session opening

• If you want to start a script when the session opens, you must name it LOGON.BAT or LOGON.CMD and copy this script:
  • In the Application Data folder of All Users if this script applies to all users,
  • In the Application Data of the user if this script applies to this user.
• If you want to start a script on the client side when a session is opening, you just have to name a program STARTUP.EXE and to copy it at the home drive of the user PC (C:\startup.exe).
• If you want a program to be started as a service when the BYODAPP server reboots you have to name this program STARTUP.EXE and copy it in the folder: C:\Program Files\BYODAPP\UserDesktop\Files\ .
