Hello,
I'm testing out UEM/appvolumes currently but I'm confused on an aspect of UEM.
1. I've captured Mozilla + Chrome and settings that are made by the user are captured. Both of the applications are stored in the application stack the user mounts when logging in. I can't seem to fix a problem where both applications think they are running for the first time. Both of them continually ask "Would you like to make <> the default browser"? However, I can change the home page and it remembers whatever is put in. Any idea I can go about fixing this?
2. I'm expecting that users will install other applications into the writable volumes. There's a very high chance that anything they install wont be an application I have profiled. Is UEM going to capture the settings for programs I haven't profiled?
Hi,
The default browser problem you are describing is a Windows setting, not a browser setting. Windows keeps track of your default programs.
If you want to capture the default browser setting, create a new Config File and give it a name like 'default browser', and put the following content in there:
[IncludeRegistryTrees]
HKCU\Software\Classes\FirefoxHTML
HKCU\Software\Classes\FirefoxURL
HKCU\Software\Classes\.htm
HKCU\Software\Classes\.html
HKCU\Software\Classes\.shtml
HKCU\Software\Classes\.xht
HKCU\Software\Classes\.xhtml
HKCU\Software\Classes\ftp
HKCU\Software\Classes\http
HKCU\Software\Classes\https
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.htm
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.html
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.shtml
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.xht
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.xhtml
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations
The second questions is a bit harder. UEM will only capture settings for applications that you have created a UEM config file for (with the profiler).
We're working on something to make this easier to manage.
Kind regards, Pim.
