Changing the Default Cache Location

As mentioned in Workstation Cache , the default cache (NALCACHE) is created as a hidden directory on the root of the workstation's Windows drive.

You can change the location by specify a different drive letter. The next time Application Launcher/Explorer refreshes (either a timed refresh or a manual refresh), the NALCACHE directory will be recreated at the root of the location that the workstation's drive letter is mapped to. The old NALCACHE directory is not removed automatically.

To change the location of the cache directory:

  1. In ConsoleOne, right-click the User, Group, or container object for the users whose cache location you want to change > click Properties.

  2. Click the Application Launcher tab to display the Launcher Configuration page.

  5. Click OK > OK to save the changes.
