Disabling Installation of Desktop Shortcuts

As part of the Ridgeline client initialization process, a shortcut may be installed on your desktop. The
desktop shortcut allows you to start the client without having to point a browser to the server (and
clicking the Log on to Ridgeline link). Installation of the desktop shortcut assumes that the Java setting
for Shortcut Creation is set to the default of Prompt user if hinted.
You can optionally change the Shortcut Creation setting so that a shortcut is not installed with the
Ridgeline client. To do this:
1 From the Control Panel (Start > Settings> Control Panel) double-click the Java icon.
2 When the Java Plug-In control panel appears, click the Advanced tab.
3 Expand the list of items next to Shortcut Creation.
