The Program Neighborhood Connection Center Window

The Program Neighborhood Connection Center displays all ICA connections established from a MetaFrame Presentation Server Client for Win32. You use Client software to access applications, server desktops, or content (such as documents or presentations) published by a MetaFrame administrator. All the items you can access from Program Neighborhood, collectively referred to as published resources, are stored on servers running MetaFrame Presentation Server. Each group of servers is referred to as a server farm.

The Program Neighborhood Connection Center shows the currently open ICA sessions.
