Account Flags

All account flags relate to the creation of items like a key, shortcut, folder, or value.

Possible values of an account flag (AFlag) are as follows:

A (All)

(Windows NT Technology only)

The item is valid for all users. An account name is not specified.

C (Common)

(Windows NT Technology only)

The itemis valid for all users (desktops). An account name does not need to be specified. In contrast to the All flag, the shortcuts and folders are stored on the common desktop and not on the user desktop. The C flag is set by default when you use the automatic method.

G (Group)

(Windows NT Technology only)

The itemis valid for all desktop users who belong to the group specified by the Account Name parameter. The account name must be specified.

S (Single)

(Windows 9x/Me only)

There is only one desktop user for whom the item is valid. No account name needs to be specified. The reference installation sets the S flag as default.

U (User)

(Windows NT Technology only)

The item is valid for the user specified by the Account Name parameter. The account name must be specified.
