Manually creating a shortcut for the Web Start client

On Windows, the Web Start executable file for the default Java™ JVM is copied to a Windows system directory. When you let Web Start create a short cut for launching the desktop client, it uses the file in the system directory as the target. You can create a shortcut manually.
