Limitations of Roaming Profiles or Group Policies
In a large company, it is common to use Roaming Profiles or Group Policies to configure which shortcuts are available for a user. However, there are limitations to this when used across PCs with different applications installed. The effect of this is that users are presented with inaccessible or dead shortcuts. With XIA Links, this issue of centralised desktop shortcut management is resolved.
