Re: Change desktop when remote connection is established

If they are at the desk and see the message, they can allow or deny the 
access.  If they do not choose, the default option set happens.  (IE 
"Allow" or "Deny" depending on config settings). This is controlled by 
"Accept connection on timeout" or "Deny connection on timeout".
