Desktop options
Do not show Desktop Agent in system tray
Select this check box to hide the Desktop Agent icon in the system tray. Although the icon is hidden, the agent will still be active.
Always restart computer, even if shut down is selected (desktops only, excludes 64 bit platforms)
Select this check box to force the computer to Restart even if a Shutdown was selected. This option comes in handy when installing service packs or other applications that may need to complete after the system restarts.
Using this option sets the Agent to automatically launch regardless of any logoff/shut down events.
If logoff/shut down application does not complete
Wait before executing the next synchronous application
Specify the maximum number of seconds the computer will wait before running each successive synchronous logoff/shut down application. The timer default is 900 seconds (15 minutes); zero (0) will disable this timer. Disabling this timer will cause Desktop Authority to wait for the natural completion of each individual application. Each application must complete on its own before the next synchronous application will begin.
Wait after executing the last application before ending the Windows session
Specify the maximum number of seconds the computer will wait for all logoff/shut down applications to complete before performing the logoff or shut down of the computer. For asynchronous applications this timer starts after the last application is launched.
When synchronous applications are invoked, this timer begins after the completion of the final synchronous application. The timer default is 1,800 seconds (30 minutes); zero (0) will disable this timer. Disabling this timer will cause the Desktop Agent to wait for the natural completion of all applications (synchronous/asynchronous).
