Is there a way to make Citrix act like RDP in the sense that when the user maximizes the citrix screen we want it to act like the w2k/xp rdp client where it expands into the whole monitor environment and you can't tell the difference.

thanks
 
If you set the Citrix session to run in Full Screen mode you'll get the effect you want
 
All that will do is place citrix somewhat maximized and it will still have the "border". I need no border.
 
Nope, should be able to run full screen. Make sure you've selected "full screen" and not just making the app run in, say, 800x600 on an 800x600 screen (in which case you *would* still get a border). For example, open up program neighborhood and highlite the published desktop in question. Click on properties and then options and then window size and scroll down to the last entry which is "full screen". Give it a try.

Cheers
 
Also, when running Full Screen, you can press Shift+F1 to got to a Windowed Mode and Shift+F1 to go back!

Cheers,
Carl.
 
Thanks for the help, here is the 2nd part to my question. We run XP with 2 monitors attached to each client. Is there a way i can run citrix full screen every time on the right monitor so I can still fully function on the left with xp?

thanks
 
Will depend on the video card drivers - some do some fancy things that allow you to choose which monitor specific apps will run from etc. Others (in particular the ones that generally come by default with XP) may not provide that functionality.

Cheers.
 
I'm running MATROX 550's on all of them. It looks like it has some fancy features but i no understand them at 2am in the morning..
