In the Other category, you can specify how HostExplorer behaves when it disconnects from the host, select auto-start or create a password for a Quick-Key, Quick Script or macro, and specify Sleep request responses.

Upon Disconnect from Host—Select one of the following options:

: Close Session Window—Closes the session window when the connection is terminated.

: Keep Session Window Open—Keeps the session window open. By default, this option is selected.

: Restart Session—Forces HostExplorer to re-connect to the host.

: Show 'Open Session' Dialog—Opens the Open Session dialog box. You can use this option to reconnect to another session without having to re-launch the program. This option works only if the host terminates the only open window.

Session Password—Enter a password of up to 32 characters to use when you create a Quick-Key. HostExplorer displays and saves the password in encrypted format only.

Auto Start Quick-Key/Quick Script/Macro—Enter or browse for a macro, Quick-Key, or Quick Script file name. HostExplorer saves the macro, Quick-Key, or Quick Script and launches it automatically each time the session connects to a host. See also ReRun Auto Quick-Key.

Always Prompt for Host Name—Select this check box if you want a dialog box to appear prompting you for a host name each time you attempt to connect to a host using this session profile.

Allow Sleep While Connected—Specifies how HostExplorer responds to a sleep request from the system while a session is connected to the host.

: No—Ignores the Sleep request.

: Yes—Always accepts the Sleep request.

: Ask User—HostExplorer asks the user if they want to accept the Sleep request. If the session is minimized or not visible, the request is automatically refused. Ask User is the default value.

Disconnect on Sleep—Disconnects the session when the system goes into Sleep mode. By default, this option is cleared.
