Hello Sherman,

That's correct. To see the remote cursor taking different shapes you need first to enable that in the connection properties, because they are not displayed by default.

Hello,

what is the advantage and disadvantage of having this setting to always or set to never for a rendering of host cursor? Could you give an example please.

The default setting ("View only mode") is that you only see the remote cursor when in View mode, whereas in the Full control mode you only see your local cursor. If you set rendering remote cursor to "always", you will see two cursors, local and remote. If you quickly move your cursor across the screen this might cause the remote cursor to slightly lag behind your local cursor.

In normal everyday usage of the software you don't really need to render the remote cursor. You might need to show it, however, if there is a task that requires from you to see the remote cursor.

Also cannot find any description to what advance mouse scroll does or why one would want to enable or disable?

Advance mouse scroll setting defines what happens when you bring your cursor to screen edges. In other words it allows you to scroll the screen in horizontal and vertical direction without using the scrollbars (provided that the remote screen size is bigger than your local's and no shrinking is enabled). Here is a related documentation page.

You can disable it if you'd rather use the scrollbars.

Is auto ping setting a good thing to increase or decrease?

That depends on what you are trying to achieve. The ping only works in a local network so this setting is not actually that significant unless you really need to keep an eye on your LAN computers' network status (online/turned on).

Lastly is there a way to just disable remote mouse but keep the keyboard to work on the host? So full control minus the mouse.

Unfortunately, so far you can only lock or unlock both mouse and keyboard, but not separately.

Could that setting be added via xml or config file.

The settings in the config file just mirror what is available in the interface so editing the config file won't help much. But I will add your suggestion of locking mouse and keyboard separately to our wishlist.

Thank you!

Hello,

It seems some task manager windows are not closing when you try to close from the remote window.

Could you please elaborate on this? Exactly what windows you are trying to close? A screenshot could help.

Thanks.
