It seems to me that all you would have to do is right click on the desktop and change the primary monitor and or the extended toolbar options.

maybe. I'm not familiar with citrix from that end so it might not be possible. otoh it might be that none of the support staff are aware of it.

Okay thanks. So why don't you have a web site then? Maybe davidcrow.com (unless it's taken). :-)

Do you not see the contradiction in your statement? Either you trust them to not steal from you, or you don't. Maybe you trust them in some ways, but you definitely don't trust them completely. This is fine, and depending on the workplace / people that surround you, this is sometimes necessary. (and unfortunate). But, I have to disagree with you. If you really do trust the people you are with, I don't think that it is ignorant to not think that they will rob you.

Possibly but let me put it this way. If I had $1 million and I laid it on my desk in the open where everyone could see it and they were all my best friends in the world would the temptation possibly be too much for some people?

I use VPN with Remote Desktop so Im unsure of how it would work with Citrix but I do know that things I leave on my secondary monitor are always pulled over to my primary monitor when I logon from home.

Ctrix doesn't provide any access to the 2nd monitor at all. That much I've been told over the phone.

I was going to write a long complicated reply, but hopefully this example will be easier: What if you were a multi-millionaire and your friends were millionaires too? Then would you trust them? What can they gain / potentially lose (getting caught) by taking the money? I guess when I said "trust people" I should have said "trust people within a given environment". If you set the reward level too high, then even "good" people will do "bad" things.

Try changing the displaying settings through Remote Desktop. If I recall correctly, you can not.

So my manager and I step out of our seats for a knowledge transfer session. A few minutes later, he sees (our conference rooms have glass doors and walls) a couple of people hanging around his PC and goes to investigate. Turns out they are from helpdesk and wanted to check if people have installed some patches, so they logged him off forcibly. And they had done the same thing to my machine. :wtf: They could have gone to the other 100 people in the same floor and got on with their checking, and then come back to see if the people not at their desks were really on leave or simply stepped out for a meeting or tea. No, they just had to log off. X| :mad:
Cheers, Vıkram.

byalmightybobI'm constantly annoyed when I have to install software on someone's pc, and they've gone out for the day, leaving 15 modified documents open! Do I save them? Where do I save them to? I agree, I could have asked if you were in first. Unless it was an emergency like a virus.
