METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ACCESSING REMOTE USER FILES ASSOCIATED WITH LOCAL RESOURCES

摘要

A system (300) for accessing, by a resource (302), a setting in a virtualized user profile includes an isolation environment (256), a resource (302), and a filter driver (264). The resource (302) executes outside the isolation environment (256) on a local machine (102) and requests access to a setting in a user profile. The filter driver (264) intercepts the request for access and identifies one of the isolation environment (256) and a remote machine (106), responsive to an application of a rule to the request. The filter driver (264) redirects the request to the one of the isolation environment (256) and the remote machine (106). In another aspect, the filter driver (264) intercepts an instruction from the resource (302) executing outside the isolation environment to modify a setting on the local machine (102). The filter driver identifies the isolation environment (256), responsive to an application of a rule to the instruction. The filter driver redirects the request for access to the setting to the isolation environment (256).
