App-V Clarification

[avkbros]

Hi all,
Can the user be able to view the environment variables, virtual registries and virtual files after launching an application in app-v client as we see locally by giving regedit commend and making advanced computer settings in machine level?

Thanks in advance

Normally, the user can't directly see the content of a virtual environment ("VE") from the "local" OS (except for running processes).

But an application that is running inside a VE can access those resources (like if you launch regedit from within a virtualized application).

Microsoft provides a way to accomplish that by using the SFTTRAY /EXE CMD.EXE <AppName Ver>
Often you don't need the "ver", but AppName and Ver have to be specified Case Sensitive. That way, a CMD (or regedit or whatever except Explorer) runs within the VE.
Type "sfttray /?" for more help
