Time Schedule Opens the Schedule Access Setup window, which you can use to set a time period when your Files2Phones Access Server will be accessible. For example, you might want to make it available between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM only.

Note: the time period cannot span midnight. The times are controlled by the time zone used by your computer.

WebCam Turns on your webcam. Anyone connecting to a My F2P Folder onto which you have dragged a webcam icon can see a still shot of what the webcam is viewing at the moment.

Preserve Wallpaper Check if you want your wallpaper to be displayed in Desktop and Application Control. Default is set to hide the wallpaper.

Eyes Off! Check to use the unique and patent-pending "Eyes-Only" feature, which conceals your desktop whenever you are running an application or controlling your desktop remotely with F2P. If you also have a locked screensaver, your custodian or cubicle-mate can never see your data. Uncheck if you want your desktop to be visible on the PC during remote access (note that anyone passing by can see what's happening). Default is checked.
