Changing how active sessions appear in the Session Manager
By default, the Session Manager window displays your active sessions in a single
window in a tabbed view. You can change the default settings to display each
session in a separate Session Manager window.
The pcAnywhere Manager window is also kept open by default so that you can
perform other tasks (for example, to connect to another computer). If you set the
Session Manager window to use the tabbed view, the pcAnywhere Manager window
is represented in the Session Manager window as the Home tab.
Note:
You might need to close and reopen Symantec pcAnywhere before your
changes take affect.
You can also change the background color settings for your remote control
sessions. You can change these settings while your work offline or during a session.
See
“Changing display settings during a remote control session”
on page 128.
