I captured Google Chrome on Windows 7 using Symantec Workspace Virtualization SP1 (6.1.5066) and was able to successfuly complete the capture, but when I disable the layer the shortcut still shows up.

Screen cap of layer when enabled:

Screencap when the layer is disabled. Note the "ghost" shortcut that remains. Note that the Start->All Programs->Google Chrome folder also disappears when I disable the layer

Anyone have any ideas on how to have the desktop icon also disappear when the layer is disabled? Thanks!

transactions.  Anything using

Solution

transactions.  Anything using them leaks to the base.

Office 2007 will leak several hundered reg keys to the base if you capture it on Vista or Win7.

Capturing on XP and exporting it to Win7 should work.

If a forum post solves your problem please flag is as the solution

As Jordan has already

As Jordan has already answered the question, i will only add, that i have observed that google applications are not a good target to virtualize.
1 . they always run an update service/process running.
2. frequent builds
