7.2.1.2.2 AFSCreds.exe Properties

These properties are combined to add a command line option to the shortcut that will be created in the Start:Programs:OpenAFS and Start:Programs:Startup folders (see CREDSSTARTUP). The method of specifying the option was chosen for easy integration with the Windows Installer user interface. Although other methods can be used to specify options to AFSCREDS.EXE, it is advised that they be avoided as transforms including such options may not apply to future releases of OpenAFS.
