Unfortunately there is no way to specify the path. That's an option I'm 
considering for the future, but it won't be soon in the library. The 
straightforward alternative is to use memory mapped files instead of 
shared memory (managed_mapped_file). In windows you won't have any 
performance impact since shared memory is being emulated with plain files.

I don't know which are the implications of a "Citrix Machine", but I 
would like to know more about your application needs so that I can focus 
future Interprocess development.
