Did this yesterday. I also found a bug in FilterApps 1.2 that was easy to
fix. There is HiddenApps (for Web Interface) and separate one for PNAgent.
If you look at the directory of inetpub, you'll see a separate location just
for PNAgent so if you want it hidden from both, you'll have to implement
both hacks. If you just want PNAgent, then just use the FilterApps
modification.
Email me offline if you need the fixed version of FilterApps for PNAgent.
Program Neighborhood is a different story. If you have PNAgent, then why PN
too?

In our setup we publish the desktop. Initially that's all we published.
Now, in order to manage providing access to application that have limited
licenses, we are going to publish certain applications too. We intend to
publish these application to people who use the the published desktop. (our
fat clients are not Windows systems, so the connection to a published
desktop is how they access the Windows environment. We load balance the
desktop to a server farm whose servers exceed the number of licenses we
have. So this way, I have say 12 Citrix servers, but only 3 liscenses for
Visio, I can publish Visio on one server, and publish it out to the users
and restirct access to Visio so I can make sure only x number of instances
of Visio are started at any one time etc. Anyway, it all works perfectly
except the published desktop shows up as an app right along with the
specific published applications. I realize it is supposed to, but we don't
want users "Chaining" published desktops. So I need a way to have a
published desktop that functions when called from a ICA client explicitly,
but does not appear in the list of published application when one uses the
PNAgent or the Program neighborhood. So elsewhere I got a link,
http://www.citrix4ge.de/wim/wimhapps.htm which talks about how to hide an
app from WI 3.0. As the PNAgent gets its information about what to show to
the user form the WI, if I can hide it from the WI, will it also be hidden
in the PNagent client? And either way, I still want to make it disappear
form Program neighborhood.
Anyone have some ideas?
