Path is consumed by RegistrySetting and FileSetting to refer to registry and file paths. This element supports two optional attributes: **Recursive** and **DeleteIfNotFound**. Both values are set to default="False".
Recursive indicates that the path and all subfolders are included for file settings or that all child registry keys are included for registry settings. In both cases, all items at the current level are included in the data captured. For a FileSettings object, all files within the specified folder are included in the data captured by UE-V but folders are not included. For registry paths, all values in the current path are captured but child registry keys are not captured. In both cases, care should be taken to avoid capturing large data sets or large numbers of items.
The DeleteIfNotFound attribute removes the setting from the user’s settings storage path data. This may be desirable in cases where removing these settings from the package will save a large amount of disk space on the settings storage path file server.

UE-V uses a Server Message Block (SMB) share for the storage of settings packages. The size of settings packages varies depending on the settings information for each application. While most settings packages are small, the synchronization of potentially large files, such as desktop images, can result in poor performance, particularly on slower networks.

Microsoft User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) supports the synchronization of Microsoft Office application settings. The combination of UE-V and App-V support for Office enables the same experience on virtualized instances of Office from any UE-V-enabled device or virtualized desktop.
To synchronize Office applications settings, you can download Office templates from the [User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) Template Gallery](https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/site/search?f%5B0%5D.Type=RootCategory&f%5B0%5D.Value=UE-V&f%5B0%5D.Text=UE-V). This resource provides Microsoft-authored UE-V settings location templates as well as community-developed settings location templates.
## Microsoft Office support in UE-V
UE-V includes settings location templates for Microsoft Office 2016, 2013, and 2010. In previous versions of UE-V, settings location templates for Office 2013 and Office 2010 were distributed and registered when you installed the UE-V agent. Now that UE-V is a feature in Windows 10, version 1607, settings location templates are installed when you install or upgrade to the new operating system.
These templates help synchronize users’ Office experience between devices. Microsoft Office 2016 settings roamed by Office 365 experience are not included in these settings. For a list of Office 365-specific settings, see [Overview of user and roaming settings for Office](/previous-versions/office/office-2013-resource-kit/jj733593(v=office.15)).

To configure UE-V to roam Windows desktop and application data only, change the following group policies:
- Disable “Roam Windows settings” group policy
- Disable "Roam Windows settings" group policy
- Enable “Do not synchronize Windows Apps” group policy
- Enable "Do not synchronize Windows Apps" group policy

# Working with custom UE-V templates and the UE-V template generator
**Applies to**
- Windows 10, version 1607
- Windows 10
User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) uses XML files called ***settings location templates*** to monitor and synchronize application settings and Windows settings between user devices. By default, some settings location templates are included in UE-V. However, if you want to synchronize settings for desktop applications other than those included in the default templates, you can create your own custom settings location templates with the UE-V template generator. You can also edit or validate custom settings location templates with the UE-V template generator.

The UE-V template generator opens the application as part of the discovery process. The generator can capture settings in the following locations:

- **Application Settings Files** – Files that are stored under \\ **Users** \\ \[User name\] \\ **AppData** \\ **Roaming**
- **Application Settings Files** - Files that are stored under \\ **Users** \\ \[User name\] \\ **AppData** \\ **Roaming**

## <a href="" id="share"></a>Share settings location templates with the Template Gallery
The [User Experience Virtualization Template Gallery](https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/site/search?f%5B0%5D.Type=RootCategory&f%5B0%5D.Value=UE-V&f%5B0%5D.Text=UE-V) enables administrators to share their UE-V settings location templates. Upload your settings location templates to the gallery for other users to use, and download templates that other users have created.
Before you share a settings location template on the UE-V template gallery, ensure it does not contain any personal or company information. You can use any XML viewer to open and view the contents of a settings location template file. The following template values should be reviewed before you share a template with anyone outside your company.
- Template Author Name – Specify a general, non-identifying name for the template author name or exclude this data from the template.
- Template Author Email – Specify a general, non-identifying template author email or exclude this data from the template.
Before you deploy any settings location template that you have downloaded from the UE-V gallery, you should first test the template to ensure that the application settings synchronize settings correctly in a test environment.
