File Screen Properties

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

You can view or edit the properties of a file screen in the File Screen Properties dialog box. File screens allow you to block certain files from being saved on a volume or in a folder tree. A file screen affects all folders in the designated path. You can either create a custom file screen or derive a new file screen from an existing template. This is recommended, because this simplifies the management of file screens—you can automatically update all file screens that are based on a specific template by editing that template.
