About StarNet

StarNet Communications has been a leading developer of X Windows solutions since 1989. After establishing X-Win32 as the de facto standard in the higher education market during the early to mid-1990s -- 150 unlimited Campus Site Licenses worldwide -- X-Win32 has become of one the top three PC X servers in the government and commercial sectors as well.

Unlike its major rivals, Exceed (Hummingbird) and Reflection-X (WRQ/Attachmate), X-Win32 offers a highly focused PC X server that offers superior performance and productivity features, stability, ease of use and low cost (40% or better in most cases).

StarNet also delivers unequaled customer support. Our state-of-the-art engineering infrastructure allows us to fix problems and make a new release available quickly (overnight in many cases). As our testimonials page shows, StarNet customers consistently rate their X-Win32 experience as the best in the industry.




Shared Sessions

In version 8.2 and later, sessions can be stored in any directory on your system.

Creating a shared session


To create shared sessions, simply add a publicly readable folder to the session path of X-Config
(such as “Shared Documents”), then add your session to it.

For example, to create a shared session in “Shared Documents”

  1. Open X-Config
  2. Click on the Sessions Tab
  3. Click the “Session Path +” button
  4. Enter a Nickname for the directory in the Name field. For example “Shared Sessions for Linux”
  5. Enter the location of the directory in the Location field. Alternatively, you can click the browse button to browse for the directory you want to place sessions in, create a new directory. In this example, the location would be “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents”
  6. Click the OK button
  1. Create new sessions, or place existing sessions in this folder.


    Note, you will need to have write access to this public folder in order to create or place sessions into the folder
