Application shortcut on multiple desktops

[kumphrey]

Anyone know of a way to create a shortcut of a published app and then push that shortcut out to numerous workstations? we have tried a number of ways, but it always seems to encode the shortcut to the user who created it.
thanks for any help

Can't you just copy it to the general userman's desktop profile?

No, because its linked to the user who created the shortcut, if anyone else logs in on that workstation and trys to launch the shortcut it will error out.

You could tick the "Create icon on users desktop" in the properties of the published app (this will do it for all users that have access to the app). It even recreates it if the user tries to delete it.

By you question I guess that you users are not logging on to an application set in Program Neighborhood. If they do that then you can configure the publsihed app on the server to put an icon on the users desktop or in the start menu. Another solution would be to create an ica-file for the app. You do this by right-clicking on the published app on the server, in Publsihed Application Manager or in the CMC depending on which MetaFrame version you are running, and then choose "Create ICA-file" and follow the instructions. When you have an ICA-file that works the way you want, window size and so on, just distribute the file to the users desktop.
Hope this helps
