There is a workaround to this exception – create PreferTemplateDirectory in registry on client device, add a local or UNC path to that string, add shortcuts of locally installed applications to that path and then publish application with KEYWORDS :prefer=”shortcutname”. If the application is found, Citrix Workspace app subscribes the user to the delivered application, but does not create a shortcut. There is one exception to this rule – When a user subscribes to an application with KEYWORDS:prefer=”application” in the description, Citrix Workspace app searches for the specified name or path on the user’s device to determine whether the application is already installed locally.

In my opinion, this is the most convenient and clutter free method of managing application and desktop shortcuts in Citrix. The restart doesn’t impact already opened application from Citrix. Click Yes when receiver/workspace app prompts to restart. To place shortcuts of all subscribed applications and desktop inside a single folder in the start menu rather than allowing each application icon to be positioned inside its own folder (application category) and desktop icon to be positioned as standalone, select “Show Applications in Start Menu” and provide a Name for Start Menu Folder.Ĭlick OK. This has no impact on the shortcuts placed on the desktop. Under Start Menu Options in Application Display tab, uncheck Show Applications in Start Menu to stop the shortcut placement in the start menu even if applications and desktops are subscribed. To do that, open Citrix Workspace App/Receiver Advanced Preferences/Preference and click Shortcuts and Reconnect ( Settings option in Receiver) Users can override the placement of application shortcuts in the start menu and desktop.
