Server Settings

Legacy Reflection X server settings are stored in the Windows registry. These settings are migrated automatically to Reflection X session definitionsthe first time you run Reflection X.

note

A session definition is a combination of settings that affect how Reflection X manages and displays your connections. You can associate a default session definition with each of your X clients (including XDMCP connections), or configure these definitions to prompt you for a session name when you start the client. If the associated session is not already running, Reflection X starts the session when you start the client.

Server settings are migrated to a session definition called "config." (If you created any new X Server Instances, these settings are migrated using the name you provided.)
