Supported predefined variables
The following existing registry entries are supported as variables in PeerSync.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
Registry Value | PeerSync Value |
Desktop | %Desktop% |
Favorites | %Favorites% |
Fonts | %Fonts% |
Personal | %Personal% |
Programs | %Programs% |
Recent | %Recent% |
SentTo | %SendTo% |
Start Menu | %Start Menu% |
Startup | %Startup% |
Templates | %Templates% |
These variables get resolved under the current logged in user. Therefore, they should be used in environments where a single profile configuration is to be used to back up the current user's folder such as My Documents/Documents on different operating systems such as Windows XP, 7 and 10. Since the location of the My Documents or Documents folder is different on these operating systems, using the %Personal% variable will dynamically resolve to the correct location on each system. This simplifies configuration and keeps the profile generic and able to be utilized on multiple operating systems.
