Configuring the Session Manager shortcut

When you create a served desktop launch page, a desktop shortcut for the BlueZone Session Manager is automatically created on the user’s desktop.

By default the Wizard names the shortcut the same name as the launch folder.

Sometimes, the launch folder name does not make a good name for the Session Manager shortcut. You can change the name of the desktop shortcut.

Also, if you do not want this shortcut to be created, you can turn it off by clearing a check box in the Advanced Settings : Served Desktop window.

Creating a Session Manager desktop shortcut and naming the Session Manager are independent of each other. In other words, you can choose to not create a Session Manager desktop shortcut but choose add the Session Manager icon to the Windows taskbar. In this case, the shortcut name that you choose is the name that displays when you mouse over the Session Manager icon in the Windows taskbar.

  7. If you create a desktop shortcut, the Wizard automatically gives the shortcut the same name as the launch folder name. Sometimes, a short name that is good for the launch folder (which is part of the URL), but is not descriptive enough for the Session Manager shortcut name.
    If you want a different name for the shortcut, type it in the Shortcut Name field.
