does not replace them. All users have this folder in their user profile. For
applications to work properly, utilize Active Directory Users and Computers for
domain user accounts and Computer Management (local) for local user accounts
to assign a separate home directory to each user.

Û To configure existing users to use separate home directories
1. If you want to change the path to a domain user’s home directory, log on as a
domain administrator. If you want to change the path to a local user’s home
directory, log on as a local administrator.
2. For a domain user account, open Active Directory Users and Computers.
Expand the domain node of the console tree, expand the organizational unit
where the user is located, and click Users.
For a local user account, open Computer Management (local). In the console
tree, click Computer Management, System Tools, Local Users and Groups,
and then Users.
3. Double-click the user whose home directory you want to change.
4. Click the Terminal Services Profile tab.
5. Click the radio button next to Local Path and enter x:\users\%username%,

If the home directory is on a network share, click Connect, select a drive to
connect, and then type the network path.
6. Click Apply and then Close.
DOS and OS/2 text applications can generally be installed and used as-is. DOS

command to avoid excessive resource consumption.
Windows applications often use Windows features such as the system Registry

some information is user-specific. This may require some application
customization, as discussed in this section.
There are two ways to install 16- or 32-bit Windows applications in a MetaFrame
environment: user-global and user-specific.
User-Specific
User-specific means that the application is installed by a specific user only for his
or her own use. The default installation is user-specific. Any Ini or other files the
application tries to place in the default Windows directory are installed to that
user’s home Windows directory. Even if the application is installed to a network
or shared directory, other users do not have access to all the Dll and Ini files
needed to run the application and must do a user-specific install for themselves. In
