tasks to get your HP Microsoft Windows® Embedded Standard (WES)
2009 Thin Client up and running. However, if you have questions, need
more information or want to set up a more unique configuration, please
refer to the Microsoft® Windows Embedded Standard 2009 Quick Reference
Guide at www.hp.com/support/manuals/thinclients. Select your thin client and
its respective guide under General Reference.
The User account is the factory default log-in when you turn on your new HP Windows
Embedded Standard Thin Clients for the first time.
You can identify the type of user account by clicking Start and reading the account

CHOOSING BETWEEN ENHANCED WRITE FILTER
AND FILE-BASED WRITE FILTER
HP Windows Embedded Standard Thin Clients include both the Enhanced Write
Filter (EWF) and the File-based Write Filter (FBWF) to protect the operating system.
The Enhanced Writer Filter is the factory default.
To select and configure the EWF or FBWF, perform the following steps:
1. Log in as an Administrator.
2. Select Start > Control Panel > HP Write Filter Configuration.
3. Select and configure the desired write filter.
4. Reboot the system for the chosen write filter and changes to take effect.
MAKING AND SAVING CHANGES
(Enhanced Write Filter only)
The Enhanced Write Filter is enabled by default; therefore any changes will not be
saved automatically. When you make changes to configuration or personal settings
the changes are stored in temporary cache memory.
To make and save changes, it is a best practice to:
1. First reboot the device to ensure only the changes you want will be saved.
2. Make the necessary changes.
3. Right click on lock icon in System Tray.
4. Select Commit state > then Yes to reboot.
An icon on the System Tray shows the status of the EWF:
Lock status Description
Red Disabled—Allows user to write to the image after the next reboot
Green Enabled—Prevents the user from writing to the image after the next reboot
Yellow Pending—Overlay committed with next reboot
3
Tip: Choose the Enhanced Write Filter to protect the entire flash from writes, or choose the File-based Write Filter
to allow specific local applications and files to be updated dynamically.

Terminal services (RDP)
Select Remote Desktop Connection
Icon on Desktop.
To configure connection, select Options in
dialog box.
To improve your multimedia experience, HP
WES thin clients include HP RDP
Enhancements software. For more information
please visit www.hp.com/go/vce.
CONFIGURING AND MAKING CONNECTIONS
Use HP Easy Configuration Utility (HP Easy Config) to quickly and easily
configure your thin client to operate in one of four user modes. For each
mode selected, HP Easy Config lets you configure three groups of settings:
a connection, an additional user and kiosk mode.
Default Desktop is the factory default when you start your thin client for the
first time. In this mode, the thin client boots in standard desktop mode
without making any preconfigured connections.
To configure a connection:
1. Select the HP Easy Config icon on the desktop.
2. Select the desired thin client mode and enter configuration information.
3. Click Finish.
4. Next time the thin client is started, it will boot into the selected mode.
• If EWF is disabled, it will remain disabled until it is manually re-enabled.
• Be sure to re-enable it when you no longer want to write permanent changes to the flash memory.
• Reboot the system for the command to take effect.
• All changes (intentional or unintentional) since last boot-up of thin client will be written to disk
when one commits the write filter. Therefore it is recommended that you first reboot the device.
• Current default RAM Disk (Z:) size is set at 16 MB. If you
need to add applications and driver, you may need to
increase this temporary storage: Click Start > Control Panel
> HP RAMDisk Manager.

REDIRECTING USB DEVICES FOR USE IN A REMOTE SESSION
For more information about HP Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) Multimedia and USB Enhancements
Software see Microsoft® Windows Embedded Standard (WES) 2009 Quick Reference Guide at
www.hp.com/support/manuals/thinclients.
HP Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) Multimedia and USB Enhancements software
provides multimedia and USB device redirection to reduce the limitations sometimes
associated with the VMware View (or VDI) desktop experience. To enjoy its benefits,
software must be installed on the server as well as on the thin client.
To redirect (share) USB devices:
1. Open the Control Panel and select HP RDP USB Redirector Client
or right-click the icon in the taskbar.
2. Select the USB devices you want to redirect:
• To automatically redirect all USB devices, check Auto-share
devices (Auto-share is off by default).
• To redirect specific USB devices, select each device individually from the list
displayed, then click Share, Unshare, or Exclude.
– A shared (redirected) device behaves as if it is connected to the remote
desktop.
– An unshared (not redirected) device is available to the local thin client only.
– An excluded device will not be automatically shared, even when
Auto-share is selected.
• To prevent a device from being automatically redirected for use with the
remote desktop, select the device and click Exclude. This disables both
Share and Unshare. To share the device manually or automatically, you
must click Unexclude.
DOWNLOADING THE LATEST OS OR DRIVERS
HP provides monthly Microsoft® Quick Fix Engineering (QFEs)
updates, periodic updates and add-ons for thin client images.
To obtain the latest OS image, drivers, BIOS and add-ons visit
http://www.hp.com/support.
Auto-share will automatically share devices when they are plugged in. Most USB
keyboards and mice are automatically excluded from Auto-share, because when a
device is shared, it is disconnected from the local system. However, some multi-interface
(composite USB) keyboards might not be automatically excluded from Auto-share. These
types of devices should be manually excluded before enabling Auto-share.
