EnableShade registry setting not working in the 2.2 Client

[robdevaul]

The documentation still mentions EnableShade, but the setting is currently not working for me in 2.2  I had it working in the previous client I had installed.  I'm running the client as the shell on Windows ThinPC.

Same problem here.

-nonInteractive and -unattended are not suitable options in my case.Just want to hide that menu bar, couldn't belive there's no easy option for that =[

Disabling the shade through ADM still works, so I searched through the registry to see what the ADM applied.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Client]

"EnableShade"="False"

Before I was applying it to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Client which at least worked pre 2.2.

Worked for me, little different location though for Windows 10 with View Client 3.3

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Client

Also, if you connect with full screen pressing Ctrl+Alt will allow you toggle the mouse/keyboard to the local machine - press Ctrl+Down Arrow and it will resize to Window mode.
