• Launch a FactoryTalk View Machine Edition HMI application
• Launch the FactoryTalk View Machine Edition Configuration mode of
the terminal where you load and run applications, configure startup
options and terminal settings, and enable or disable desktop access.
• Launch the Windows Explorer desktop shell. The system is configurable
via the control panel and supports Windows operations.

Any of the terminals can be configured to allow or restrict desktop access. From

run viewers, media players, and launch the web browser. You can even allow access
temporarily to perform specific tasks, then disable desktop access to prevent
unauthorized changes.
