Shortcuts and the Isolation Environment

AdminStudio 2025 | 29.0 | Citrix Assistant

When a profile is published on the Citrix XenApp, the administrator has the option of placing available shortcuts on the client's desktop, client’s Start menu, or only in the Citrix Program Neighborhood Agent applications list.

Shortcut presentation is specified in the Application shortcut placement area of the Shortcut presentation view of the Citrix Access Management Console Application Properties dialog box.

In the Application shortcut placement area, you have the following options:

Description

Add to the client's Start menu

Select this option to create a shortcut to this application in the user's local Start menu. A Client Application folder appears in the first pane of the Start menu:

Start
   MyApplicationFolder
        ApplicationName

When you select this option, the Place under Programs folder and Start menu folder fields are enabled.

Place under Programs folder
(Program Neighborhood Agent Only)
Start menu folder
(Program Neighborhood Agent Only)

Select the Place under Programs folder option to create a shortcut to this application under the Programs folder of the user’s local Start menu.

If you leave the Start menu folder field blank, the shortcut is created in root folder of the Programs menu.

Start
    Programs
        MyApplicationFolder
            ApplicationName
 

If you specify a folder structure in the Start menu folder field, the shortcut is created in that folder structure within the local Programs folder, with each folder name separated with a backslash. For example, if you entered the following in the Start menu folder field:

MyApplicationFolder/ApplicationTools 

Then, the shortcut would be created in the following folder structure:

Start
    Programs
        MyApplicationFolder
            ApplicationTools
                ApplicationName
