a.

Since many applications by default save files in the Documents and

that pertain to the application. If one exists, you can use the following
command to migrate the directory and files:

SMAvariable\Location\[File] [/s]

where Location\ is a fully qualified file or directory, and [File] is an
optional parameter that can be used only if Location\ specifies a directory.
In the Adobe Reader example, the customization files are in the
Preferences directory.
