User-specific SM Installer Policy Group

The User-specific SM Installer policy group contains the following policies for the SXP logon function. You can modify policy parameter values by double-clicking a policy to display the Setting Properties dialog.

Desktop refresh option

Indicates a parameter used for controlling the desktop of a target computer. It is often useful to check if the desktop is still configured correctly every time a user logs on to the system and to clean up the desktop if it does not correspond to the user's normal desktop layout. Valid values are as follows:

True

Activates the Desktop refresh option. The user-specific desktop is checked for consistency and modified, if necessary.

False

Deactivates the Desktop refresh option. The user-specific desktop is not checked for consistency.

Default: False, <locally managed>

Dialog option

Controls the visibility of the dialog for the logon function while the user desktop is updated. If True, the dialog is displayed, and if False, the dialog is not displayed.

Default: False, <locally managed>

Shortcut directory 1

Defines user-specific directories, which are exclusively checked for orphan shortcuts. Any orphan shortcut is temporarily removed.

The following restrictions apply:

• The parameters must be numbered continuously from 1...n.
• Any parameter can define a single path to be checked.
• These parameters can be used to limit the set of folders checked. If the parameter value (= the path) is empty, all user-specific folders are checked.
• If the parameter value is a relative path, the path is assumed relative to the user's Start directory.
• If the parameter value is an absolute path, this path is checked. An absolute path is identified either by a leading back slash (\) or by a colon (:) as a second character.

Default: empty, <locally managed>

Shortcut directory 1 (including subdirectories)

Defines user-specific directories, including subdirectories, which are exclusively checked for orphan shortcuts. Any orphan shortcut is temporarily removed.

The following restrictions apply:

• The parameters must be numbered continuously from 1...n.
• Any parameter can define a single path to be checked.
• These parameters can be used to limit the set of folders checked. If the parameter value (= the path) is empty, all user-specific folders are checked.
• If the parameter value is a relative path, the path is assumed relative to the user's Start directory.
• If the parameter value is an absolute path, this path and its subdirectories are checked. An absolute path is identified either by a leading back slash (\) or by a colon (:) as a second character.

Default: empty, <locally managed>

Start user-specific SM-Installer

Starts SxpLog32.exe when a user logs on, if set to True. If False, SxpLog32.exe is not started when a user logs on.

Note: Never set the value to False if you use SXP or converted MSI packages.

Default: True, <locally managed>
