Create ICA files (The easy way)

At work we sometimes need to give users access to programs that are installed on a subset of the Citrix servers. We have always done this by creating an ICA file of the application.
The usual procedure was:
- Log onto Citrix Web Interface browse to the correct application
- Right click on the application icon
- Click 'Save Target'
- Save the ica file somewhere it can be found.
- Open the ica file in notepad
- Edit the line that say removeicafile=yes to removeicafile=no (so that the file isn't deleted after the first run).
- And finally run the application
In XenApp it is a bit easier.
The procedure is as follows:
- Open Access Management Console
- Drill down to the application, fro which, you want to create ICA file.
- Right click on the application icon
- Choose All Tasks -> Create ICA file.
- In the box that appears un tick the check box (if internal connection) and browse to a file location to save the file.
This file will be ready to deploy to the user.
Hope this helps someone.
