Citrix Workspace is an application that provides remote access to apps, files, and desktops. Currently this app is being used for training courses in finance to interact with a simulated database. The course will have a .ica file that can only be used within Citrix that gives them temporary access to a remote application during class.
To use the software:
1) Right click on the .ica file given
2) Select Open with... > Choose another app
3) Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\ICA Client\wfcrun32.exe
(you can set it to open with this program by default for ease of use in the future)
Troubleshooting: If the file is not opening by default you can force set it to default by doing a registry edit.
For a quick understanding of Registry. This is a specialized database that uses key-value pairs to store settings/configuration information.
Folders/objects are known as Keys while subfolders are Subkeys.
These Keys have values associated with them
To registry edit to set the default app:
1) Use the Win+R command and type "regedit"
2) Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
3) Find and Select the ".ica" key
4) Verify that the data value in (Default) is set to "ica_auto_value"
a) If there is no such value set a new value: "ica_auto_value"
5) Go back out to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT to Navigate to the "ica_auto_value" key(this will be further down the list)
6) Inside the ica_auto_value key navigate to the command Subkey via the following pathway:
ica_auto_file
shell
open
command
7) Select the value (Default)
8) Set the data value to: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\ICA Client\wfcrun32.exe" "%1"
(be sure to include the quotes and the %1 at the end. the %1 ensure the full file path is used when opened to avoid windows shell errors.
