$mode = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Novell\GroupWise\Login Parameters\Mode", "")
$dircache = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Novell\GroupWise\Login Parameters\Path To Cache", "")

If $mode = "Cache" Then
If $dircache = "<directory of caching>" Then
MsgBox (0, " Cache già implementata", 2)
Exit
EndIf
EndIf

SplashTextOn("Configurazione GroupWise in modalità Cache", @CR & "Non utilizzare tastiera e mouse", 400, 100 , 5, 600,"",28)

; Step1 - stop del processo notify e grpwise
If ProcessExists("notify.exe") Then
ProcessClose("notify.exe",1)
sleep (2000)
Endif

If ProcessExists("grpwise.exe") Then
ProcessClose("grpwise.exe",1)
sleep (2000)
Endif


;Step2 - rimuove dir 
DirRemove("<directory of caching>", 1)
DirCreate("<directory of caching>")
