Well-Known Root Folder Variables - Novell ZENWORKS APPLICATION VIRTUALIZATION 8.0 - 04-12-2010 User Manual

Novell ZENworks Application Virtualization
8.3 Well-known root folder variables
The ZENworks Application Virtualization engine dynamically remaps well-known root folders such as My
Documents and Program Files to the appropriate location based on the host operating system at runtime.
This assures, for example, that the virtualized My Documents folder will be mapped to
\User\Bob\Documents when running on Windows Vista or \Documents and Settings\Bob\My
Documents when running on Windows 2000.
Most of the time, configurations are constructed using snapshotting or in the graphical user interface. However, if
manually modifying the .xappl file, the following well-known root folder variables may be used to configure virtual
filesystem locations. Root folder variables are case sensitive.
