METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DISPLAYING, ON A FIRST MACHINE, DATA ASSOCIATED WITH A DRIVE OF A SECOND MACHINE, WITHOUT MAPPING THE DRIVE
First Claim
1. A method for displaying, in a virtualized desktop executing on a remote computing device, data associated with a client drive of a client computing device, without explicitly mapping the client drive onto the remote computing device, the method comprising:
- (a) establishing, by a first client agent executing on a client computing device, a user session with a remote computing device;
(b) transmitting, by the first client agent executing on the client computing device, data identifying a client drive of the client computing device to a second client agent executing on the remote computing device;
(c) receiving, by the second client agent, data associated with the client drive of the client computing device;
(d) generating, by the second client agent, a shell link using the received data associated with the client drive of the client computing device in the context of the user session, wherein the shell link comprises a data object that contains information used to access the client drive of the client computing device; and
(e) displaying, by the second client agent, the data associated with the client drive of the client computing device in a virtualized desktop executing on the remote computing device.

Abstract
Methods and systems for displaying data associated with a client drive of a client computing device in a virtualized desktop executing on a remote computing device without explicitly mapping the client drive onto the remote computing device are described. A first client agent executing on a client computing device establishes a user session with a remote computing device. The first client agent transmits data identifying the client drive of the client computing device to a second client agent executing on the remote computing device. The second client agent receives data associated with the client drive and generates a shell link using the received data associated with the client drive in the context of the user session. The second client agent displays the data associated with the client drive of the client computing device in a virtualized desktop executing on the remote computing device.

11. A system for displaying, in a virtualized desktop executing on a remote computing device, data associated with a client drive of a client computing device, without explicitly mapping the client drive onto the remote computing device comprising:
-
a client computing device comprising; a first client agent executing on the client computing device establishing a user session with a remote computing device; and transmitting data identifying a client drive of the client computing device to a second client agent executing on the remote computing device; and a remote computing device comprising; a second client agent executing on the remote computing device receiving data associated with the client drive of the client computing device; generating a shell link using the received data associated with the client drive of the client computing device in the context of the user session, wherein the shell link comprises a data object that contains information used to access the client drive of the client computing device; and displaying the data associated with the client drive of the client computing device in a virtualized desktop executing on the remote computing device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
