FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.3.1_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_01)

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
Windows NT Version 4.0

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I have to resolve the following problems:
(1) A customer which did not agreed to create shortcuts the
second time wants shortcuts.
(2) The desktop short is removed.

How to create the desktop shortcut programatically?

==> Create a shortcut from within the application, as an
entry in the menu "create shortcut".

Problem: there is not method documented in the JNLP API how
to create a shortcut.

Most appropriate interface: DownladService.

(Application->Create Shortcuts) is usefull, but I would
propose to add a function "createShortcut()" to a future JNLP-service
"CustomizeService".
Reason: sometimes I want to 'hide' the fact, that there is a application
manager.
Use case: Users starting the application from their webbrowser would decide
one day to create a shortcut via the application.

This bug can be reproduced always.
