The IgnoreFolderSecurity parameter is used to allow security exceptions for specific folders.

Whenever a file is accessed from the ThinApp package for the first time, the complete folder structure corresponding to the file path is created in the sandbox. If any folder in the path has security attributes set that does not allow the child folder to be created, then the IgnoreFolderSecurity parameter can be used.

The format of the parameter is a list of semi-colon separated folder names: IgnoreFolderSecurity=foldername1;foldername2. In the format, foldername is either the name of the folder or the entire path to the folder.

You can add this parameter to the General Purpose Parameters section of Package.ini.

Let us consider an example where XYZ is the name of a folder and C:\abcd is the entire path to the abcd folder. The parameter format is as follows: IgnoreFolderSecurity=XYZ;C:\abcd

An entire path can be used to avoid name conflicts which occur if there are two or more folders with the same name in the ThinApp package but with different paths and the security exception must be applied to only one of them.
