How to Apply General Settings to a MED-V Workspace
The general settings enable you to configure the basic user experience when working with a MED-V workspace, by defining whether the MED-V workspace will appear in seamless integration or full desktop mode. Seamless integration includes legacy applications in the host desktop so that they appear as if they are installed directly on the host. Full desktop presents the desktop of the MED-V workspace operating system in a separate window on the host.
All general settings are configured in the Policy module, on the General tab.
