Navigation Settings	By default the ExCM pages are accessible from the '/_layouts/SPSolutoins/Delegation/' layouts directory. As a result these pages inherit the look at feel of the layouts master page. It is possible to move these pages into your SharePoint site using SharePoint Designer and modify the master page. When perform this operation you need to tell the ExCM application where the new file is located at. You can specify the new location of these files by editing the property of the corresponding URL.   In a Dual Zone configuration an invitation e-mail will contain URLs relative to the site the invitation was sent. Problems can arise if the recipient of the invitation needs to access a zone that is different than the zone the invitation was sent from. The Registration URL property can be hard coded with a fully qualified path the the invitation zone which can eliminate this issue.
