# How to Configure Published Applications
|
||
|
||
|
||
Applications that are not compatible with the host operating system can be run within the MED-V workspace and initiated from within the MED-V workspace the same way they are initiated from the desktop—from the Start menu or from a local host shortcut. Applications selected and defined are called published applications. The procedures in this section describe how to add and remove published applications.
|
||
|
||
An application can be published in one of the following ways:
|
||
|
||
- As an application—Select a specific application by typing in the command line for the application. Only the application selected is published.
|
||
|
||
- As a menu—Select a folder that contains multiple applications. All applications within the folder are published and displayed as a menu.
