Multiple Taskbars

When running an ICA or RDP session, you will have access to the server taskbar within the
client session as well as the MinIT6000 desktop taskbar.

Depending on how each of them is setup, you may or may not have access to or know how to
get to the correct one. The following describes different options that might cause some
confusion.

Always on Top

Auto hide

MinIT6000 Desktop Taskbar

Enabled Don’t

care

RDP window Taskbar

Disabled Enabled

With this configuration, you will be unable to get to the RDP session taskbar because it gets
hidden behind the MinIT6000 taskbar. In this case the MinIT6000 taskbar acts as if it is set
to Auto hide even though it is set with Always on Top enabled. The solution is to disable
the Always on Top option for the MinIT6000 taskbar. To do this, move the mouse down to
the bottom of the screen to display the MinIT6000 task. Click the right mouse button and
select Properties to bring up the Taskbar properties window. Un-select Always on Top and
click OK. Now you should have access the RDP session taskbar. To get back to the
MinIT6000 taskbar, <ALT> and <TAB> keys at the same time to bring up the Task Manager
window as well as the desktop taskbar.

Once the client session window is open, the problem with this configuration is that you will
not have direct access to the MinIT6000 desktop taskbar. To gain full access to the
MinIT6000 taskbar, the only solution to this is to close down the client session. However, to
switch to another active MinIT6000 window, hit the <ALT> and <TAB> keys at the same
time to bring up the Task Manager window. If you are in an RDP session window the
desktop taskbar will appear as well. To switch windows, select the appropriate active task
and click on the Switch To button. Note, you can also hit the <ALT> and <ESC> keys at the
same time to toggle between windows.
