Abstract

Embodiments of the invention, are directed to synchronizing the presentation of windows between two computing systems. A client computing system participates in a terminal server session with a server computing system. Both computing systems identifying their own windows display information (e.g., client-side for local windows and server-side for remote windows respectively). The server computing system transmits its windows display information to the client computing system. The client computing system accesses the windows display information of the server computing system. The client computing system formulates combined ordering applicable to the presentation of both local and remote windows at the client computing system. The combined ordering is based on both the client side and the server-side windows display information. The client computing system presents windows in accordance with the formulated combined ordering. Additionally or alternatively, the client computing system transmits the formulated combined ordering to the server computing system.
