This property page specifies the Novell® Application LauncherTM/Explorer configuration settings that will be applied to the container. Configuration settings determine how Application Launcher/Explorer works and the functionality that Application Launcher/Explorer exposes to users.
Each configuration option has a default setting that is inherited from the parent container. You can override the default setting for the container by establishing a custom setting. When Application Launcher/Explorer searches the NDS® tree for a user's Application Launcher/Explorer settings, it starts with the user's object and works up the NDS tree. Application Launcher/Explorer continues up the tree searching for custom settings until it reaches a container object that has been designated as the top of the tree. If it finds custom settings in the user's object or any container objects along the way, those settings are applied. If it doesn't find any custom settings, then the setting is considered "unset" and the default setting is applied. If it finds more than one custom setting for the same option, the lowest-level setting applies. For example, if a custom setting is applied to both a user's object and the user's container object, the setting for the user's object is observed.
In a multi-tree environment, the configuration settings are read from the user's primary NDS tree. The primary NDS tree can be seen in Windows* 95/98 and Windows NT*/2000 by right-clicking the Novell ClientTM icon on the system tray and clicking NetWare Connections.
