If you (or your operator) deletes the shortcut to a project on the desktop, relaunching from the Ignition homepage will not restore it. I created this guide for my customer and thought I should share it here.

Here’s what you need to do to get the shortcut back.

Run Configure Java

Select the app that is missing its icon. Click Install shortcuts.
