There are two types of shortcuts:
1. Standard Windows shortcut - This is identified by the white arrow in the bottom left corner of the icon. This is a Windows shortcut. The program and documents are connected to the local machine.
2. Netware shortcut - If you copy a shortcut from the Application Explorer and put it on your desktop, it is a Netware shortcut. This is a link to a program that is accessible from the Application Explorer. The benefit to this type of shortcut is that the link, path to the program, will change on your desktop if the application was moved on the server.
