Hiding running applications from view during a remote control session

About this task

When a remote control session is requested, you can hide any running applications on the target that you do not want the controller user to see. This option is only available when the Enable user acceptance for incoming connections policy is enabled for the session. It is shown on the user acceptance window when the session is requested.

Hide applications by completing the following steps

Procedure

  1. In the user acceptance window, click Hide Applications and Accept.
    The Show / Hide window opens, listing all the running applications on the target.
  2. Select the applications that you do not want the controller user to see.
  3. Click OK.

Results

When the session is established, the selected applications are no longer visible in the target and controller windows.
Note:
  • The procedure can be carried out only by the target user in the session.
  • If you click Cancel in the Show / Hide window, the selected applications are not hidden when the session is established.
