Setting the host startup options Symantec pcAnywhere lets you configure a host connection item to start automatically when you launch Windows. To protect against unauthorized access, if you configure a host to start automatically, you should also use the Windows lock computer feature or use a password-protected screen saver, depending on your operating system. In Windows XP/2003 Server/2000/NT, the option to run as a service is enabled by default. This option lets you take advantage of the inherent security and performance features of the operating system. Windows XP restricts users who are assigned to a limited user or guest account from running services. Users with limited user rights can start a host session in pcAnywhere only if the host session is not running as a service. To ensure proper functionality, pcAnywhere host sessions should be started by a user with administrator rights and should be run as a service. To set the host startup options 1 In Advanced View, on the left navigation bar, under pcAnywhere Manager, click Hosts. 2 In the right pane, under Hosts, do one of the following: ■ To configure an existing connection item, right-click the item, and then click Properties. ■ To create a new connection item, on the File menu, click New Item > Advanced.
