This can be confusing and if you have any questions, write direct to rhynes@hotmail.com

The appsrv.ini file is THE main file dealing with connections to the citrix server.
Create the file with one user by setting up all published applications that this user needs.
This will be your master user template.
Go to c:\windows\profiles and delete all user directories (profiles) EXCEPT this current user
Once all the apps are set, copy the entire user directory (go to c:\windows\profiles)
ie: right click on the user, and click copy, paste it into the same directory .
Now you have a folder named "copy of user". Rename this to another user that uses this machine.
Now log into the citrix server using every different connection you have set up.
This ensures all connections are ok.
exit all programs.
Do this for all users that share this machine.
it works for us, hope it works for you...
