HP T5720 Quick Reference Guide for Microsoft Windows XPe-based Thin Clients - - Page 32

Altiris Client Agent The Altiris Client Agent allows the Altiris server to discover valid clients that are added to the network. The agent carries out assignments and reports the status of individual thin clients to the Altiris server. Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 7.0 of the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser is installed locally on the thin client. The Internet options settings for the browser have been preselected at the factory to limit writing to the flash memory. These settings prevent exhaustion of the limited amount of flash memory available and should not be modified. You may access another browser through an ICA or RDP account if you need more browser resources. Service Pack 2 makes Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 much more secure. Internet Explorer has more control over the execution of all content, including a built-in facility to manage pop-up windows. Furthermore, Internet Explorer now prevents scripts from moving or resizing windows and status bars to hide them from view or obscure other windows. Windows XPe Service Pack 2 added a block unsafe file transfers feature to Windows Messenger. For a list of files generally considered unsafe, see Information About the Unsafe File List in Internet Explorer 6 on the Microsoft Web site at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/. Windows Media Player 11 Version 11 of the Windows Media Player contains security, performance, and functionality improvements.
