Quick question,
If I have a Desktop that is published out to Fat clients and they want to be able to "Alt+Tab" within the ICA Desktop...is that possible? I installed the FULL PN on the fat clients and there is a section for "ICA Hotkeys" but that didnt' work.
When we hit Alt+Tab on the fat client, it switches between the ICA Desktop and any local app open.

Is there any way we can get it to ALT+Tab within the ICA Desktop?

any info would b appreciated!
thx
 
The hot keys should work.

What did you set them to, and did you stop and start the client ?

The Hot-Key for ALT-TAB in a Citrix connection is ALT-+ (the plus on the number pad!!!). The ALT-TAB won't work as a Hot-Key because it is already a setting in Windows and the system can't differentiate between the Citrix connection and the local machine. The Hot-Keys cannot be the same. The only way to allow it as ALT-TAB would be to change the key stroke in Windows (not sure how, but I am sure it can be done). You could change it in Citrix to ALT-ESC, which it a little more user freindly than ALT-+, and just communicate it to the user community...
