By adding few parameters to View Client shortcut we can save some time daily while connecting to the desktop. Follow the below mentioned steps if the domain login credential for View desktop and local machine are same.

1. Right click the View Client shortcut and select Properties.
2. If the View client installation is done at the default directory then the Target will be like this.

“C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Client\bin\wswc.exe”

Append parameters  -loginascurrentuser, -server, -desktopname  and -interactive to Target.

“C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Client\bin\wswc.exe” -loginascurrentuser true -server “Connection server”  -desktopname “Target desktop pool”  -interactive

Eg: – “C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Client\bin\wswc.exe” -loginascurrentuser true -server mypc.desktoppc.com -desktopname “Windows XP Desktops” -interactive

3. Click OK.

Test it by double clicking the shortcut. This time view client will not ask for Connection Server, User Name, Password, Domain and the Desktop pool.
