Typically, when connected to the network, Application Launcher/Explorer is started through a command in the user's login script. To automatically start Application Launcher/Explorer in disconnected mode, you can add Application Launcher or Application Explorer to the Windows Startup folder by using the Launcher Configuration settings in NDS.
Depending on which program is running at the time, either an Application Launcher (NALWIN32.EXE) shortcut or an Application Explorer (NALDESK.EXE) shortcut is added to the Startup folder.
If Application Launcher or Application Explorer attempts to start twice, once through the user's login script and once through the Startup folder, only one instance of the program will be launched.
To add Application Launcher or Application Explorer to the Startup folder:
In ConsoleOne®, right-click the User, Group, or container object for the users whose Application Launcher/Explorer you want to configure > click Properties.
Click the Application Launcher tab to display the Launcher Configuration page.
Click Edit to display the Launcher Configuration dialog box.
In the Settings list (User tab), select Auto-Start NAL > set the option to Yes.
Click OK > OK to save the changes.
