Advanced session features allow users to configure extra settings and enable session features that are context sensitive to the current session type. For method specific advanced options see SSH, telnet, rlogin,
This option will start a new instance of X-Win32. The options for Start New Instance are Never, Always, Needed, and Prompt. The default setting is Never.
For normal use, allowing new instances is not necessary. Never, the default setting, is suitable for most applications.
The Window mode can remain in the current configuration specified in the Window Section of X-Config, or be explicitly changed to Single or Multiple window mode.
XDMCP connections can only be run in Single Window Mode.
When starting a session the status dialog will appear showing the connection status. You can specify when you would like to see the status dialog appear.
Always: Always show the status dialog
On Output: Show the status dialog when a remote application gives output
On Likely Error: Show the status dialog on a likely error from the application
On Error: Only show the status dialog on an error
Check this box if you want to hide the status dialog in the initial connection attempt.
X-Win32 will send the Xauthority data as if the command xauth -extract $DISPLAY had been run.
Xauth enhances security, however, it slightly increases the CPU load on both en

Enable this option if you need to compress your data to speed up your network connection. Enabling compression increases the CPU usage to speed up the connection. If you are transferring and processing a lot of data on a fast local network, disabling compression is recommended to maximize performance.
Enable this option if you want to see the connection status dialog when launching a new ssh session.
If you fail to connect when launching a session, the Connection Log will appear for debugging purposes once the connection has closed.
Specify the number of minutes before SSH sends a keep alive message in order to keep the connection from shutting down. The default is 30 minutes.
The private SSH key file to use when connecting to a remote host. If you have a public key set up on your remote system, specifying the private key will allow you to log in without the use of a password.
X11 Forwarding automatically encrypts the data sent by all commands run through the session. It automatically sets the DISPLAY environment variable on the remote host - there is no need to add the -display argument in the session command.
Also, X11 forwarding automatically uses an XAuth cookie to authorize X Client connections - neither prompting or listing the host address in the host list are needed. (For more information, see Allow by Prompt and Allow by Address.)
X11 forwarding can be disabled in the command line by passing -display @DISPLAY@. However, data will not be encrypted, Xauth will not be automatically setup, and optional compression may be unavailable.
Allow your ssh key stored on your local windows system to be forwarded from machine to machine. You can connect to a remote unix/linux machine and then ssh to a different machine from there, using the same private key file.
When using GSSAPI (MIT Kerberos for Windows) authentication with SSH, Kerberos credentials can be delegated to the remote side, as with OpenSSH. This is an advanced feature - however, it is often required on pure Kerberos networks (such as at a college campus or a large company).
X-Win32 will send the Xauthority data as if the command xauth -extract $DISPLAY had been run.

The session will scan for the string of characters that represents the login prompt. Each separate login token is separated by a pipe '|' symbol. If your session hangs at the login prompt, check if the login matches the login tokens. Add a pipe symbol, then the login your system uses.
The session will scan for the string of characters that represents the password prompt. Each separate password token is separated by a pipe '|' symbol. If your session hangs at the password prompt, check if the password string matches the password tokens. Add a pipe symbol, then the password prompt string your system uses.
The session will scan for the string of characters that represents the command prompt to start the interactive session. Each separate prompt token is separated by a pipe '|' symbol. If your session ends before the command prompt appears, check that the token is not outputted anywhere in the startup script.
