After SAPGUI 7.50 installation (Silent installation) automatically a shortcut icon on desktop is created named "SAPLOGONPAD" but as per our company norms no desktop shortcuts are allowed, so any can advise how to stop that being created the shortcut on desktop or remove that after installation of SAP GUI silently?

per the installation guide:

SAP Logon Pad Desktop and Start menu shortcuts for SAP Logon Pad
 Note
The functionality of SAP Logon Pad is fully contained in
SAP Logon. Therefore these shortcuts are only created
if SAP Logon is not selected.

there is also the Admin Guide for 7.5 specifically

No there is no instructs to remove shortcut of logon pad from desktop, just stated that only logonpad controls all.

At the time of installtion no options to modify the setting to remove SAPLOGON PAD desktop shortcut, We are pushing the app to more than 5K PC's so we want the desktop shortcut of SAPLOGON PAD to be remove before or after installation. If any possible method please suggest.

Yes 7.5 Password field is disbaled,

but still it is doable.

1. you can use 7.2 GUI to create the Shortcut with the password

2. open the shortcut file <PRD>.sap with NOTEPAD

3. copy the Password line [eg., Password=PW_15A1203694B5791F846B]

4.now go to the system using 7.5 GUI and open the <PRD>.sap open with NOTEPAD

5.add the Password line [eg., Password=PW_15A1203694B5791F846B] in same location.

6. save it and open it will work.

Regads,
