Using the Shadow Taskbar

Using the Shadow Taskbar

The Shadow Taskbar is another method by which you can shadow multiple users. It is a tool dedicated to shadowing. One benefit of using it is the ability to shadow multiple users and switch between shadowed sessions in an easy and convenient manner.

To start the Shadow Taskbar, click Start, Programs, Citrix, Administration Tools, Shadow Taskbar. Once launched, the Shadow Taskbar looks a lot like the Windows Start Taskbar, except it positions itself at the top of the screen and has the word Shadow instead of Start (see Figure 6.5).

After you click Shadow, a window opens, giving you the following three methods by which you can search for users to shadow:

• Servers lists the users based on the server they are connected to.

• Applications lists the users based on the published application they are connected to.

• Users lists all the users, and you have to go through the entire list to find the user you are looking for.

After you locate a user you want to shadow, you simply click Add, which adds him or her to the list of users you plan to shadow. After you add all the users you want to shadow, click OK. This action launches separate shadow sessions to every user and places a tab on the Taskbar so you can easily toggle between sessions just as you toggle between applications in Windows.
