Can anyone out there that is using VMWare View with Linked Clones and User Data Disks provide specifics about how VMWare goes about doing the redirection of the user data. I have researched this to death and can find no documentation or even a discussion that addresses the specifics.
I need to know exactly WHAT it redirects and HOW it does the redirection.
I have come across a vague mentioning of the following:
1. It modifies the user profile path in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Profile List
2. It also redirects the All Users profile
Can someone confirm or refute the above? Can someone shed more detailed light on exactly what it is doing? Is it also modifying the "Shell Folders" registry keys? Is it strictly doing the redirection via the registry or is it using another mechanism?
Any insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
