When you maximize the screen-sharing window, your preferred behavior will occur unless the remote
computer’s screen resolution is higher than yours. In this case, the window will scroll automatically
when your cursor reaches the edge of the window, enabling you to view the entire remote desktop.
The Screen-Sharing Window System Menu
During a screen-sharing session, the Control or Observe icon is shown in the upper-left corner of the
screen sharing window. Click the icon to open the screen-sharing window’s system menu, which includes
a number of options to manage settings for the screen-sharing window and how keyboard input is sent to
the host computer.
Changing Screen-Sharing Settings for the Current Session
If you wish to change your guest preferences during an active screen-sharing session, open the system
menu and choose Host Settings. With the Host Settings dialog box, you can change your guest prefer-
ences for the current screen-sharing session. Changes you make in the Host Settings dialog box are not
applied to subsequent screen-sharing sessions.
Sending CTRL+ALT+DEL to the Remote Computer
If you use the Control service to connect to a computer that is locked, or if you wish to log on as a dif-
ferent Windows user, you cannot display the logon screen by pressing the
CTRL + ALT + DEL keys on your
computer. Instead, open the system menu and choose Send Ctrl+Alt+Del to Remote Computer.
User Account Control, Fast User Switching, and the Secure
Desktop
When you Control a Windows computer running Windows 7 or Windows Vista, Timbuktu fully supports
User Account Control, Fast User Switching, and the secure desktop.
• When you run an application that requires User Account Control authorization, the UAC prompt is
displayed normally in the screen-sharing window. You can use the Control service to interact with
the UAC application.
• If you wish to log on to the host computer as a different Windows user, the Control service supports
Fast User Switching. As described in the previous section, however, you cannot open the logon
screen by pressing the
CTRL + ALT + DEL keys on your computer. Instead, open the system menu and
choose Send Ctrl+Alt+Del to Remote Computer. You can then enter the new user’s logon creden-
tials, and the Control session will continue normally.
• Similarly, if you wish to enter the Windows secure desktop, you must use the Send Ctrl+Alt+Del to
Remote Computer command.
Using the Capture Frame
When the Use Capture Frame option is enabled on the host computer, the screen-sharing window on the
guest computer displays only the portion of the host computer’s desktop that appears within the Cap-
ture Frame on the host computer. (See
“Enabling the Capture Frame” on page 26 for more information
about the Capture Frame.)
