Customizing Icons and Shortcuts

The Intranet Publisher, Offline Publisher, and Solo Client installations automatically create several icons and shortcuts. If you would like to customize the desktop icons or shortcuts these installations place on your end user's machine, you must modify the CustIcon.ini file (shown below). The CustIcon.ini file is one of the redistributable install files and is located in the root install folder.
