# About Client Configuration Settings
>Applies to: Windows 10, version 1607
The Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) client stores its configuration in the registry. Understanding how the register's format for data works can help you better understand the client, as you can configure many client actions by changing registry entries. This topic lists the App-V client configuration settings and explains their uses. You can use Windows PowerShell to modify the client configuration settings. For more information about using Windows PowerShell and App-V see [Administering App-V by using Windows PowerShell](appv-administering-appv-with-powershell.md).
You can use Group Policy to configure App-V client settings by navigating to the **Group Policy managment console** at **Computer Configuration** > **Administrative Templates** > **System** > **App-V**.

**-IntegrationRootUser**
String | Specifies the location to create symbolic links associated with the current version of a per-user published package. All virtual application extensions, such as shortcuts and file type associations, will point to this path. If you don't specify a path, symbolic links will not be used when you publish the package. For example, ```%localappdata%\\Microsoft\\AppV\\Client\\Integration```. | Policy value not written (same as Not Configured) |
| Set-AppvClientConfiguration,
Set-AppvPublishingServer
**-IntegrationRootGlobal**

When shortcuts, FTAs, and other extension points are created during publishing, App-V will compare the file name extension to the list if the application associated with the extension point is locally installed. If the extension is located, the **RunVirtual** command-line parameter will be added, and the application will run virtually. For more information about the **RunVirtual** parameter, see [Running a locally installed application inside a virtual environment with virtualized applications](appv-running-locally-installed-applications-inside-a-virtual-environment.md). | Policy value not written |
| Set-AppvClientConfiguration,

| Set-AppvClientConfiguration,
Set-AppvPublishingServer
**-ReportingDataBlockSize**
Integer \[1024 - Unlimited\] | Specifies the maximum size in bytes to transmit to the server for reporting upload requests.

| Set-AppvClientConfiguration,
Set-AppvPublishingServer
**-ReportingStartTime**
Integer (0–23) | Specifies the time to initiate the client to send data to the reporting server. You must specify a valid integer between 0–23 corresponding to the hour of the day. By default the **ReportingStartTime** will start on the current day at 10 P.M.or 22.
**Note** You should configure this setting to a time when computers running the App-V client are least likely to be offline. | Policy value not written (same as Not Configured) |
| Set-AppvClientConfiguration,
Set-AppvPublishingServer
**-ReportingInterval**
Integer | Specifies the retry interval that the client will use to resend data to the reporting server. | Policy value not written (same as Not Configured) |
| Set-AppvClientConfiguration,
Set-AppvPublishingServer
**-ReportingRandomDelay**
Integer \[0 - ReportingRandomDelay\] | Specifies the maximum delay (in minutes) for data to be sent to the reporting server. When the scheduled task is started, the client generates a random delay between 0 and **ReportingRandomDelay** and will wait the specified duration before sending data. This can help to prevent collisions on the server. | Policy value not written (same as Not Configured) |
| Set-AppvClientConfiguration,
Set-AppvPublishingServer

| Set-AppvClientConfiguration,
Set-AppvPublishingServer
**-ProcessesUsingVirtualComponents**
String | Specifies a list of process paths (that may contain wildcards) that are candidates for using dynamic virtualization (such as supported shell extensions, browser helper objects, and ActiveX controls). Only processes whose full path matches one of these items can use dynamic virtualization. | Empty string. |
