The course begins with a discussion of the Directory Update function from a user's perspective. You will see how to invoke the Directory Update function manually and how to have it invoked automatically when Windows is started.
The course then describes how to configure the Directory Update function to update PC applications. Included in this discussion is a description of the logic used by the Directory Update function when it compares source and target directories.
