Remote control preferences

View only

Select this option for view-only mode for the session. You can only see what is going on the target device but cannot take control of the client via mouse or keyboard. However, you may still use any of the other remote options, such as transfer or the clipboard functions.

Display Cursor of Remote Device

Select this option if you want to display the cursor and its movements during a remote control session.

Disable Wallpaper

Select this option to disable the wallpaper on the remote device.

This feature does not work if the wallpaper is set by GPO (Group Policy Object) on the remote device. The remote control feature verifies if it is possible to restore wallpaper before removing it. In case of GPO, restoring the wallpaper is not possible so this feature has no effect.
