    This feature was delivered in version 14.0.

    We have an HTML parameter,
    Name: createDesktopShortcut
    Value: True/false

    if we set false HOD client won't create the shortcut.

    Description:
    HoD 12 always creates a desktop icon

    Use case:
    When opening a webstart client, HoD 12 always creates an icon on the desktop.
    Customer would like to be able to choose whether they want an icon or not.
    In the previous versions of HoD they prevented the icon by changing the jnlp file in the following way:


    This does not work with HoD version 12 and above.

    Translation:
    Customer would like to be able to select whether a webstart client creates an icon on the desktop. Since the migration to HoD V12 webstart always causes an icon to be created.
    With previous versions of HoD / Java customer was able to prevent this by changing the jnlp file:

    Description:
    Installation of the webstart client in HoD V12 always creates a desktop icon

    Use case:
    In previous versions of HoD we changed the jnlp files in this way

    ====> delete this line

    to prevent the webstart client from creating a desktop icon.
    Since HoD V12 this does not work any more.
    A desktop icon is always created.
    #### End

    Per PMR 87389,077,724 it was
    stated that "It is not recommended to modify the .jnlp files to
    achieve what the user wants do to with desktop icon."
    Based on the request we can provide GUI option to decide weather there
    should be desktop icon or not .. As of not this is not implemented/not
    available in HOD. That is what we are requesting RFE."
