Launch folders

The launch folders are located in the site folder. When you use the Wizard to create a launch folder, you create a folder that contains several HTML files, called launch pages, that contain data necessary to open the BlueZone emulation client sessions. The launch folder also contains several configuration files.

The name of the launch folder is selected when you created the launch folder in the Wizard.

When a launch folder is created, the Wizard copies all of the files from the site \template folder in to the newly created launch folder.

The Wizard requires that you create at least one launch folder; however, you can create multiple launch folders. If you create multiple launch folders and want to make a change to all of them, you must make that change to each launch folder individually.

Table 1 lists the files that are copied from the site \templates folder to the new launch folder.

Table 1: Launch folder contents
File	Description
default.dst	Controls the version of the downloaded files.
default.htm	Contains a JavaScript that determines the browser type
default.ini	Configuration file that controls the downloading of the BlueZone emulation client files
desktop.ini	Configuration file that controls the downloading of the BlueZone emulation client files for served desktop mode only. If you use the Web-to-Host Wizard to manage your BlueZone installation, there is no need to manually configure this file.
global.ini	Configuration file that controls BlueZone features
launch_j.htm	Contains an embed tag for non-IE browsers
launch_x.htm	Contains an object tag for IE browsers

As the BlueZone administrator, you have complete control over the appearance of the launch pages. To control the appearance of the launch pages, a customizable template is provided in the site folder. You can add your own company logo and otherwise change the look of the web pages in the \template folder. When a launch folder is created, the Wizard copies the launch_x.htm and launch_j.htm pages from the \template folder to the new launch folder. By customizing these pages, you can customize the look and content of your launch pages.

Figure 1 outlines the structure of a launch folder directory.
