Dynamic Variables<br />
<strong>ManageEngine</strong> <strong>Desktop</strong> <strong>Central</strong> :: Help Documentation<br />
Dynamic Variables are those that are replaced dynamically by <strong>Desktop</strong> <strong>Central</strong> while<br />
applying the configurations. As the name implies, the value of these variables are not<br />
the same for all the users/computers.<br />
For example, to redirect the shortcuts of the start menu that are common for all the<br />
users to the system drive, you can use the dynamic variable $SystemDrive. This will be<br />
replaced by the corresponding system drive of that computer (like C, D, etc.) while<br />
deploying the configuration.<br />
The table below lists the dynamic variable supported by <strong>Desktop</strong> <strong>Central</strong>:<br />
