I had the same breakout problem. Luckily, I saw your e-mail in time for a security audit we are beginning at the end of the month. I will keep the list posted on how the issue is fixed.

Can you tell me what version of Citrix you are running and what version

Presentation Server 3.0 and the Java 8.0 client.  You might check the
version of the Citrix client you are running.  The current Widnows
version is 8.0.  My WYSE terminals shipped with version 7.1 of the ICA
client.  There is a download available to upgrade to the version 8
client.

Subject: breakout of citrix

I was wondering if anyone has seen this and if there is a fix for this.
basically this is what's happening.
We have a test citrix environment serving couple apps.
The clients can either connect using the windows ica client or thru a WYSE
terminal.
In both case the same thing happens.
One particular app that we provide is MS word.
I discovered that if you insert a link into the work document such as "c:\"
and click on it.
Citrix freaks out, then gives you the desktop of the citrix server.
From there you can do access what ever programs you want.

Any ideas on how to fix this??

Thanks.
