When you right click on certain file types (pdf) and select "Open With" the list is so long its not useful as every published app is listed..

How can I disable this feature on an end users computer?

There is nothing  in the client settings menu.

There are GPOs to disable it, please refer to "Disable opening local files in hosted applications" on https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Horizon-Client-for-Windows/2303/horizon-client-windows-installatio...

Hi,

Horizon Client for Windows has a switch to disable this feature in the Settings, please refer to the screenshot. It is enabled by default, you can disable it.

Note: This setting will show only after you log in to your broker, so it is a per connection server setting. If you have multiple connection servers, you need to set it one by one.

The setting is "Open local files in hosted applications", related documentation link: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Horizon-Client-for-Windows/2303/horizon-client-windows-installatio...
