Conditions When a Shortcut Should be Excluded or Deleted

AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Citrix Assistant

To prevent a shortcut from being created in the Citrix profile, you can choose to either delete or exclude it, depending upon whether you want it to remain in the InstallShield project.

Excluding a shortcut—When you exclude a shortcut, it will not be created in the Citrix profile, but it will remain in the InstallShield project. This means that the shortcut would be included in the Windows Installer package that is built from this InstallShield project. See Excluding a Profile Shortcut.
Deleting a Shortcut—When you delete a shortcut, it is removed from both the Citrix profile and the InstallShield project. This means that the shortcut would also be deleted from the Windows Installer package that is built from this InstallShield project. See Deleting a Shortcut.
