An InsLink section of the desktop.sxp archive file describes the icons to be created on the desktop. Each icon is linked to its associated item, usually the program path of the newly installed product. Each link is defined in its own section; there is one link per section. Links on the desktop are assigned to users by means of the Createn entries.
Every InsLink section installs shortcuts in the Windows Explorer, whichever is applicable for the operating system of your Packaging Computer and its target computers. A section defines a shortcut. To assign shortcuts, use the Createn entries.
