Caution: Editing the registry incorrectly can cause serious problems that might require you to reinstall your operating system. Citrix cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of the Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. Be sure to back up the registry before you edit it.

After configuring these settings, change your machine catalogs to use the new master image or updated physical machine. Desktops are updated with the new settings that the next time users log off.
