LL.INI [Variables] Section

In the [Variables] section of the LL.INI file, you can define variables to be used on the LinkLaunch command line. These variables work like environment variables with one significant difference. Because the LL.INI file can be shared, it is easier to configure the *.INI parameters in one location than to set environment variables in everyone's login script or profile.

The rules for entering *.INI replacement variables are the same as for environment variables except that the variable name is surrounded by '#' 's instead of '%' 's. For example:

LL \\#ACCTG#\dir1\apps\excel

The '#' signs tell LinkLaunch to look for the variable 'ACCTG' in the LL.INI file and to replace it with the corresponding string.

One other important difference between *.INI variables and environment variables is that the replacement text for *.INI variables cannot be surrounded by quotation marks. Windows removes the quotation marks when it reads parameters from *.INI files. If you need quotes in a replacement string, configure your variables so the quotes are not surrounding the replacement text or so that the quotation marks remain on the LinkLaunch command line.

NOTE: #'s and %'s may be mixed on a command line.
