Abstract
Approaches for rendering a file within a display mode. A guest module, executing within a virtual machine, determines that a process executing within the virtual machine is requesting to display a file. The guest module sends a request to display the file to a host module which executes within a host operating system. After the host module receives the request, the host module determines whether a user initiated the display of the file. Upon the host module determining that the file is permitted to be displayed, the host module determines a particular display mode for the file. Thereafter, the host module causes the file to be displayed in the particular display mode. Files may be automatically displayed in a configurable display mode in a secure manner.
