CRM Desktop Shortcut

I am looking for a way to make a desktop shortcut to launch the web version
of CRM 3.0.

I can make a shortcut to the url "http://server:5555" but it opens a tab in
my current IE7 browser, then pops up a new window, then a popup asking if its
alright to close the tab... its pretty stupid.

There must be a way to create a shortcut to right away goto the frameless
popup window CRM launches?

I'm in the same boat! this happend in IE6 also.
I think it's stupid also that IE ask's the user to open another window.
My clients already have security clearence on all levels why do they have to
recieve this useless time wasting click "OK" to open a new window annoyance
MS?

This is the expected behavior. The reason is that CRM is hiding the standard
IE toolbars and menus because otherwise the user would see two toolbars and
two menus (one from CRM and one from IE). Opening http://crmserver
immediately loads the CRM application into a new tab without the IE menu and
toolbars.

You can create a shortcut to http://crmserver/loader.aspx and will not be
prompted anymore, but you will then have the IE menu and toolbars back.

1.. From the IIS wwwroot folder, locate CRM's Web.Config file.
2.. Open this up in your favorite text editor.
3.. Find the line which says: <add key="AppMode" value="On"/>
4.. Change this to say: <add key="AppMode" value="Off"/>
5.. Save.

hmm i think i would rather keep the annoying start up over loosing the less
cluttered IE interface... There msut be a way around this. Maybe someone
could write a small executable that somehow launches it directly with the
AppMode on....
