Disabling Installation of Desktop Shortcuts
As part of the Ridgeline client initialization process, a shortcut may be installed on your desktop. The
desktop shortcut allows you to start the client without having to point a browser to the server (and
clicking Log onto Ridgeline). Installation of the desktop shortcut assumes that the Java setting for
Shortcut Creation is set to the default of Prompt user if hinted.
You can optionally change the Shortcut Creation setting so that a shortcut is not installed with the
Ridgeline client. To do this:
1 Click Start > Settings > Control Panel. The Control Panel appears.
2 Double-click the Java icon.
3 When the Java Control Panel dialog box appears (see the following figure), click the Advanced tab.

5 Select Never allow.
6 Click OK to apply the setting and close the Java Control Panel dialog box.
Configuring the Firefox Browser for the Java Plug-In
If you want to use the Mozilla Firefox browser to connect to the Ridgeline server, you must download
and install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) plug-in. Until you do this, you cannot log on to
Ridgeline using Firefox.
