I have a WPF app that I deploy to terminal server users using Click Once. The Terminal Server is Windows 2003 R2 Enteprise Edition.

The good news is that the deployment works fine. However there is one annoying problem: Users are unable to maintain a shortcut to my application on their TS desktops. Each time they log out, the shortcut is missing when they log back in.

I know the IT group has locked down the Terminal Server sessions to prevent users from performing ad hoc application installations. While this doesn't directly affect my app, I am guessing it prevents shortcuts from being persisted between sessions. I am further guessing the answer lies in some combination of policies for the terminal server.

Does anyone have a clue as to how/if I can resolve this?

thanks

RobinDotNet's suggestion did the trick....I was not aware of the desktop icon option in the click once deployment manifest...see below....
