Management consoles such as Active Directory Users and Computers appear since I launched a connection to the Citrix Desktop from a Domain Controller. On the Start Menu of the Citrix Desktop all my applications appear under a list named Local Programs. When logging on to my Citrix Desktop notice how I can see a Local Desktop folder on the Desktop which includes my locally (not published via Citrix) copy of Google Chrome. If URL redirection is required in incognito mode, allow the extension to run in that mode by configuring the browser settings.

Notice two other settings for URL redirection. Next go to Citrix Studio and enable the policy Allow local app access as shown below. C:\Program Files\Citrix\ICA Client\redirector.exe /unregAll.C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\System32\VDARedirector.exe /regAll.C:\Program Files\Citrix\ICA Client\redirector.exe /unregIE.C:\Program Files\Citrix\ICA Client\redirector.exe /regAll.C:\Program Files\Citrix\ICA Client\redirector.exe /regFF.C:\Program Files\Citrix\ICA Client\redirector.exe /regChrome.C:\Program Files\Citrix\ICA Client\redirector.exe /regIE.If for some reason you have to manually register add-ons or you want to unregister them, the below example commands can be used: Now when you launch Internet Explorer (on VDA) you will see the add-on listed just like you did on the local device.

The Citrix URL-Redirection Helper add-on works with the Black & White list URL redirection policies however you also need to install the Citrix VDA-URL-Redirection Helper add-on on to your VDA machines. Once enabled, you will see the add-on listed under Toolbars and Extensions. Once Citrix Receiver is installed, when you launch Internet Explorer you will be asked if you would like to enable the Citrix URL-Redirection Helper add-on. Doing so registers the correct browser add-ons.

You may have applications installed on your local device that the administrator does not want on your PVS/MCS images. Local App Access, a Platinum feature reintroduced to FMA under XenApp and XenDesktop 7.5, brings the ability to present applications locally installed on your client device across to the Citrix XenApp Shared Desktop or XenDesktop session.
