I deleted my shortcut off my desktop for the designer and can’t get it to come back. I can launch the designer from the gateway fine, but it will not make a new shortcut. I have read posts about deleing the cache or the ignition folder, but not sure what files or folders I should delete.

I have a folder C:\DocumentsandSettings\user.ignition  
and a folder C:\ProgramFiles\InductiveAutomation\Ignition

I am using XP

Thank you.

The .ignition in the user folder is the cache. Additionally, deleting the Java cache should solve the issue that your having. You can also create your own desktop shortcuts using the information contained in this forum thread
