On the Drives page, you can define variables for drive designations and UNC paths for access to applications and resources (e.g., CD-ROMs). Networks usually have a single server on which user applications are installed. To make this server available on the network using NetMan variables, enter (%nmappdrive%) as the mapped application drive, and (%nmappunc%) as the application share.
Applications available over the network may require access to other resources as well, such as CDs, which are on separate drives. To access these resources using variables as well, enter the variables in the respective lists of folders for application-specific connections (%nmnetdriveN%) and UNCs for direct network access (%nmappuncN%):
The drives entered here are stored in the order in which they appear in this list, in consecutively numbered variables: "%NMNetDrive1%," "%NMNetDrive2%," etc., or "%NMNetUNC1%," "%NMNetUNC2%," etc.
It is essential that you enter drive letters for application-specific resources without a colon, as this is required by many applications.
NetMan Desktop Manager supports the use of Virtual CD. If you use Virtual CD, tick the box next to Support for Virtual CD. In the Folder for new virtual CDs field, specify the folder in which the vcdimg.dat file is stored. This file defines the paths to your global Virtual CDs. When you activate the Virtual CD support, the Insert image file and Eject image file Actions become available for use in Advanced Scripts and in NetMan startup/shutdown Scripts. These Actions insert and eject virtual CDs.
