[THIN] Re: using applications neighborhood agent

You can do that with just a renamed explorer.exe too.  Use policies to
hide anything you don't want the users to see/have.

Only problem with that is if the user enters a URL in the address bar
they can go web browsing.

Another method, that Citrix seems to be more supportive of, is to
publsih
Internet Explorer in 'explorer' mode.  Basically publishing iexploer.exe
with a -e.  You can even specify which path it should open first.

ie. iexplore.exe -e c:\

Then, of course, use Bruce's suggestion to hide/disable unwanted drives
with
a policy.

You can publish explorer, if you want users to see that kind of
interface.  You have to copy explorer.exe somewhere with a different
name (not explorer.exe), and then publish that EXE.  If you publish
explorer.exe people get a desktop.  Then there's other switches (that I
don't know off-hand) that you can make it go to a specific drive.  And
of course you can use policies to hide/disable drive letters.

Can someone tell me how I can allow a user to see the contents of a
mapped drive using only the application side of neighborhood agent? I
have several applications already setup but I need to know if its
possible without giving them the desktop, to point to a mapped drive.

 

Thanks

Nick
