Title: Managing desktop settings using shared and separate modes
Inventor: SINCLAIR JOHN
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2013-01-29
Abstract: A method for managing a desktop setting comprises: maintaining, on a server 1111, a container 1120 for storing setting data and a configuration file for storing mode data, where the container comprises a shared portion and an isolated portion; synchronising 1500 the container and configuration file between the server and a client 1115; determining whether a setting is in a shared mode or a separate mode using the mode data; and managing the setting in accordance with the determined mode.
