RE: [Thinstation-general] Desktop and Citrix Program Neighbourhoo d Agent

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

So when you publish a new app or make a change for the user on your Citrix
server, you have to go through this process again (copying over the reg.ini
from a linux client)?

Am I understanding this correctly...
