How to disable or re-enable Sidebar users on a terminal server

Last updated 21 February 2022 02:30   ∙   ~ minute read

By default, the Sidebar will automatically open at login for all users who have a profile on your clinic's terminal server.

If you would like it to only open automatically for certain users, e.g. reception, you can configure this behaviour from the Sidebar.

   In this article

  • Disable or re-enable the HotDoc Sidebar's auto-startup
  • Other configurations

 

Disable or re-enable the HotDoc Sidebar's auto-startup

  1. Ensure you are logged into an admin account on your computer 

  2. Click onto the Sidebar and press Ctrl+Shift+S

  3. The screen below should appear showing all local users, which you can disable/enable as you please by clicking Turn Off or Turn On

Other configurations

If the above steps aren't having the desired effect, the configuration of the server may be interfering with how these settings work. In this case the following items may also be used to control the auto-start behaviour of the Sidebar:

  • C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup (shortcut)

  • C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup (shortcut)

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run (registry key)

  • C:\Users\<user>\.hotdoc\config.ini (the runonstartup value in here is what the Ctrl+Shift+S settings change)
