Configuring WebDrive to Auto-connect a Site in Citrix Xenapp (Published Apps) Environments


Startup Flag for WebDrive Running in Citrix XenApp

When running WebDrive in Citrix XenApp environments (published application – not full published desktop), how do I make it so that WebDrive auto-connects at login?

Answer
