Abstract
The disclosure provides a method for launching one or more local applications seamlessly from a remote desktop. The method generally includes sending, from a client device to a connection server, redirected local application information associated with one or more local applications of the client device; receiving a selection, from a user of the client device via a context menu of a file located on a remote device running a remote desktop, of a local application of the one or more local applications to open the file; receiving, by the client device from the remote desktop, a request for the client device to launch the local application and load the file; and displaying the local application in a window displayed on the client device.
