ACS Console shortcut

The new Access client solutions does not allow a console shortcut to be created to the desktop. Can one be created. As we start installing the console software, this has been their one complaint.
Thanks.

    As the previous post has suggested, it is possible to have a shortcut to a console on your desktop.  You can duplicate the product shortcut on your desktop.  Appropriately rename the new shortcut to something that identities it as a console.   Modify the Properties by adding the following to the Target path "/plugin=console /system=<your_system>" so it looks like:
    C:<some_path>\Start_Programs\Windows_x86-64\acslaunch_win-64.exe /plugin=console /system=<your_system>
    Make sure you have defined the console configuration for <your_system> using System Configurations, select and Edit <your_system>, select the Console tab, set the console configuration.

    There are several ACS plugins, and there are four that relate to an operator console:
    console,vcp,consoleprobe,hmcprobe

    If you copy the ACS desktop icon, right-click, properties, then change the "target" to also include "/PLUGIN=console" (no quotes) then doesn't that give you what you want? This info is in section 9.1.18 of the Documentation/GettingStarted.html file in your ACS installation directory.

    If this isn't the "console" you mean, then you need to be more specific.
