On the Files & Folders page, the VMware ThinApp Application tree initially displays the more commonly used predefined folders, such as [ProgramFilesFolder] and [CommonFilesFolder].

2.

To add a folder to the tree listing, select a folder that is not currently listed in the tree.

3.

To remove a folder from the tree listing, select that folder name in this list (which is preceded by a check mark.
