Starting Explorer.exe in the Virtual Environment

Running one instance of the explorer.exe utility on a Windows operating system makes it difficult to add 
an entry point to Windows Explorer and start it inside the virtual environment.
You can use the following methods to open a Windows Explorer window inside the virtual environment:
Add an entry point to iExplorer and start it with the -E parameter.
For example, add the following entries to the Package.ini file:
[iexplore.exe]
Shortcut=xxxx.exe
Source=%ProgramFilesDir%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
CommandLine=%ProgramFilesDir%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe -E
Add the following virtual registry key: 
isolation_full HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
Value=DesktopProcess
REG_DWORD=#01#00#00#00
Add the following entries to the Package.ini file:
[explorer.exe]
Shortcut=xxxxxx.exe
Source=%SystemROOT%\explorer.exe
Use this method to browse the virtual file system with a familiar interface and enable accurate file type 
associations without system changes, especially when using portable applications. You can access 
shell‐integrated components without system changes.

Troubleshooting Java Runtime Environment Version Conflict

A conflict might occur if one version of Java is installed on the physical system and another version is included 
in a captured executable file. Updated versions of Java install a plug‐in DLL that Internet Explorer loads. This 
plug‐in DLL overwrites virtual registry keys and conflicts with a virtualized copy of older Java runtimes.
Prevent Internet Explorer from loading plug-in DLLs
Add the following entry to the beginning of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.txt file.
isolation_full HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser
