The information below will help you install and run Citrix and configure for usage from your home computer. This information assumes that you are using a PC running Windows XP, and that you use Internet Explorer for your Internet browser.
If you already have Citrix installed, please go to the next paragraph. Otherwise, open a new Internet Explorer browser and go to our web page. Go to For Students and select Citrix Download. On the next screen, click on Windows 32-bit and then go down to the button at the bottom of the next page that says 'Download ICA32.exe'. Make sure it is the top of the three buttons. There are two buttons below it that you do not want to click. Once you click that it will say do you want to Run or Save. Select Run. You may have to click Run again. Click Next. A window saying Citrix ICA Client Setup should appear. Click Next again, then Yes, then Next, Next again, until you're on a screen that is asking you a question of 'Would you like to enable and automatically use your local user name and password for Citrix sessions from this client?', at that screen make sure it has "No" selected. Then Next. It should say it's complete. Click OK and then reboot your computer.
Go to our main web page and go to For Students, then Citrix Login. Type in your usual username with your usual password you use to log in to your computer. At the next screen, the ONLY icon you'll EVER need to use is the Full Desktop - Full Screen. Disregard the other icons. Click Full Desktop - Full Screen and it will log you in to Citrix. Click OK at the district computer usage message. If a question comes up as ICA Client File Security, select 'Full Access' on the first option and 'Never Ask me again for any application' on the second option. At that point you should see your usual desktop that you see at the school, and if you go into My Computer, you'll see your usual network storage drives (I: drive, J: drive, etc.). Applications are located either in the Applications folder on the Desktop or within the Start Menu - Programs.
