Farm: Citrix XenApp 6.5<br />
Client: Citrix Receiver 4.2<br />
OS: Windows 7 Pro<br />
<br />
We are migrating from the Citrix XenApp Hosted 12.3 client app to the Citrix Receiver 4.2 app, but we are not able to get a published desktop app to auto-add to the &quot;Favorites&quot; of the Receiver and also to get a desktop shortcut created.<br />
<br />
I have read this: <a href="http://docs.citrix.com/en-us/receiver/windows/4-2/ica-overview-receiver-config/receiver-windows-configure-app-delivery-wrapper.html#par_richtext_2" rel="ugc">http://docs.citrix.com/en-us/receiver/windows/4-2/ica-overview-receiver-config/receiver-windows-configure-app-delivery-wrapper.html#par_richtext_2</a><br />
<br />
I applied the GPO according to the above link, but still no dice.<br />
<br />
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
