56 Navigating in Symantec pcAnywhere Working in Advanced View Closing the main product window upon connection When you establish a connection, Symantec pcAnywhere keeps the main product window open so that you can perform other tasks (for example, to connect to another computer). You can configure pcAnywhere to automatically close the main product window when you establish a remote connection. However, you need the main product window to connect to another host computer. By default, pcAnywhere displays your active sessions in a single window in a tabbed view, and the main product window is represented as the Home tab. If you change the display preferences to close the main product window upon connection and you turn off the option to display active sessions in a tabbed view, the Home tab will not appear in the Session Manager window. Note: You may need to close and reopen Symantec pcAnywhere before your changes take affect. See "Changing how active sessions appear in the Session Manager" on page 61. To close the main product window upon connection 1 In the Symantec pcAnywhere window, on the Edit menu, click Preferences. 2 In the pcAnywhere Options window, on the Session Manager tab, uncheck Keep pcAnywhere Manager open after connection. The pcAnywhere Manager is the main product window. To find this tab, use the left and right arrows in the pcAnywhere Options window to scroll through the list of tabs. 3 Click OK.
