XIA Links
Take control of desktop shortcuts

Desktop Icon & Shortcut Manager

XIA Links is an easy-to-use desktop icon manager that centrally manages the shortcuts shown to users.

Our desktop icon manager XIA Links includes many features to help you centrally manage desktop shortcuts

How can XIA Links help you?

Save Time

System administrators save time by managing the shortcuts displayed to every user, on every computer, from one location.

Organize Shortcuts

Shortcuts can be grouped into sections such as Accessories, Microsoft Office, Websites and Network Drives.

XIA Links is the ideal solution for an organization looking to save time by centrally managing their desktop shortcuts.

Detect Applications

Configure multiple possible application locations, and automatically hide shortcuts to applications that aren't found.

Control Access

Specify users or groups, computer names, and network addresses to determine precisely where shortcuts are shown.

XIA Links has been successfully used by many of our customers to replace Novell Application Launcher.

The perfect replacement for Novell Delivered Applications

Our firm has used Novell Delivered Applications since 1999 and our users rely on it heavily for fast access to their most commonly used applications.

We were concerned about them losing that convenience when we eliminated Novell, but learned about XIA Links from an ILTA posting and it was the perfect replacement. We can structure their folders and view almost exactly as they appeared in Novell Delivered Applications and we know that will save us hundreds of helpdesk calls about trying to locate shortcuts!
