Configuring Individual Applications 17
You can modify ThinApp parameters to configure specific applications.
Parameters specific to entry points are specified under the [<application>.exe]sections of the Package.ini
file. For example, the entries under Adobe Reader 8.exe for an Adobe Reader application might affect
command-line arguments and application shortcuts.

CommandLine Parameter
The CommandLine parameter specifies the command-line arguments that start a shortcut executable file.
While the Source parameter specifies the path to the shortcut executable file, the CommandLine parameter
specifies the file with the required options or parameters to start it.
If the Start menu shortcut for the application has command-line options, the capture process sets the initial
value of the CommandLine parameter based on those options. In rare troubleshooting cases with technical
support, you might alter this parameter. The options and parameters follow the base application name.
Depending on the application, use / or - before the option or parameter. Use folder macros for the pathname
conventions.
Example: Modifying a CommandLine Parameter
You can modify the AnsiCodePage parameter with an entry based on the C:\Program Files\Mozilla
Firefox\firefox.exe -safe-mode Start menu shortcut.
CommandLine="C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode Command-line arguments can
use the /<option> <parameter>format.
[<app>.exe]
Source=%ProgramFilesDir%\<base_app>\<app>.exe
Shortcut=<primary_data_container>.exe
CommandLine="%ProgramFilesDir%\<base_app>\<app>.exe" /<option> <parameter>
