| Desktop Client Overview | ||
| The Desktop Client (Client.exe, or the 'Samurize' shortcut under the Start Menu entry for Samurize) displays a
configuration file on your desktop. When you run the client for the first time, you may be wonder why nothing is displayed on your desktop. What you will notice, however, is
a grey S-shaped icon that has appeared in your system tray.
When you right-click on the tray icon, you are presented with the following menu:
