Understanding the Windows Shortcuts
When you install your BEA Products software on a Windows system, the installation program
automatically creates shortcut entries on the Start Menu.
Note: If the user performing the installation has Administrator privileges, the shortcut entries
can be created in the All Users Start menu folder or in the user’s local Start menu folder.
For more information, see “Administrator Privileges” on page 1-10.
Options on the Start Menu vary, according to the components you choose to install.
The BEA Products folder (Start
→ Programs→ BEA Products) contains the shortcut files
shown in the following figure:
