Setting Thinapp Isolation Options; Overview Of Thinapp Isolation Options - Novell ADMINSTUDIO 9.5 User Manual

Setting ThinApp Isolation Options

ThinApp uses a sandbox virtual environment to control application compatibility and accessibility. The isolation
option that is assigned to a folder or registry key specifies how the virtual environment will provide access to
system resources requested by the application. You can use isolation options to control what an application can
read and write on the local machine.
The default settings for isolation options are built into the ThinApp Assistant, and those defaults are adequate for
most environments. However, in the ThinApp Assistant, you can override the default settings for selected folders or
registry keys to exert control over application interactions with client operating system resources.
You set isolation options on the Isolation Options dialog box, which is open by selecting a folder or registry key
and then selecting Isolation Options from the context menu.
