The Options dialog box

Introduction

This section describes the Options dialog box in the UNICORN Manager.

How to open the dialog box

In the UNICORN Manager, choose Administration:Options... to open the Options dialog box.

There are four fields in the dialog box which are described individually below.

The Global field

Select the Run UNICORN in single application mode check box to activate UNICORN single application mode on the computer.

Explanation

Single application mode means that UNICORN will be the only application available when it is running. The setting is done on a per computer basis and will apply to everyone who starts UNICORN on the specific computer.

To achieve single application mode, UNICORN is started in a separate desktop. When UNICORN is terminated, Windows switches back to the original desktop.
