ISSession:FileRedirect (Command)

Operation

FileRedirect works by performing a simple text replacement of the path+filename the application is attempting to open, with your provided snippet. You may replace all or part of the path. Slashes should be forward slashes ("/"), and will be normalized prior to replacement. Matching is case-insensitive.

FileRedirect is safe to use during PreStartup or Startup, but generally makes the most sense during PreStartup.
