One note about this: it isn't a good thing to do.

Aero is a user setting. Any application on MY computer that changes MY setting will immediately be uninstalled. I don't see any reason the users of my software would feel any differently.

While I share dan's thoughts, thank you for sharing that anyway. In situations you describe this can become handy.

One more tip: To find out, if windows is controlled remotely, check if GETENV("CLIENTNAME") is not empty. Also see OS(10)

Besides, with more modern REMOTE DESKTOP windows does not forward the pure desktop graphic, but gdiplus or directx2 commands, so if the server is win7 or win2008r2 and the client also, it draws aero style on it's own and this doesn't use up higher bandwidth. Therefore it isn't neccessary to turn it off, only if you're behind with your versions.

Rather look at SYS(602).

You also find some tips on citrix in the fox wiki.

Bye, Olaf.
