Prevent creating desktop and Start menu shortcuts

This policy setting prevents the GoToMeeting, GoToTraining and GoToWebinar desktop application from creating shortcuts on the desktop or in the Start menu.

When the policy is disabled or not configured, shortcuts will be created on both the desktop and in the Start menu during installation or first use of the product.

If you enable this policy, you can choose to prevent shortcuts from being created on the desktop, in the Start menu, or both. This will prevent shortcuts from being created during future installations, but will not remove shortcuts from existing installations.

If the policy is enabled both per machine and per user, the policy setting per machine takes effect.
