About the Connection Wizard
When you establish a connection, Symantec pcAnywhere keeps the main product
window open so that you can perform other tasks (for example, to connect to
another computer). You can configure pcAnywhere to automatically close the
main product window when you establish a remote connection. However, you
need the main product window to connect to another host computer.
By default, pcAnywhere displays your active sessions in a single window in a
tabbed view, and the main product window is represented as the Home tab. If you
change the display preferences to close the main product window upon connection
and you turn off the option to display active sessions in a tabbed view, the Home
tab will not appear in the Session Manager window.
Note: You may need to close and reopen Symantec pcAnywhere before your
changes take affect.
See
"Changing how active sessions appear in the Session Manager"
