* Session-specific
|
Virtual CD TS v6, v7, v9 and v10 apply all profile settings on a per-session basis. |
|
You cannot assign profiles in Virtual CD FS, because the risk is too great that the profile would eject images, give users the opportunity to insert or eject images on the file server, or in some other way inadvertently have a negative effect on the operation of Virtual CD FS. |
|
Physical drives are not displayed in Virtual CD v5, nor can profiles or scripts be assigned. |
