Disabling Installation of Desktop Shortcuts

As part of the EPICenter 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 EPICenter 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
EPICenter 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.
4 Change the setting to Never allow.

5 Click OK to apply the setting and close the Java Plug-In control panel.
