A shortcut is the reiteration of an existing entry. In contrast to a duplicated entry, which has its own ID and properties, a shortcut is a link to an entry and its properties. You can create shortcuts easily by right-clicking the entry, then going to Edit – Create shortcut, or by using the aforementioned button in the Edit tab. There are a few scenarios where a user would want to use the same entry differently, such as connecting to two different hosts with a single RDP session.
For example, it is possible to:
- Assign different access to the same entry.
- Create a favorite folder with everything centralized.
- Reuse a document for different scenarios.
These two entries are the exactly the same
Entries reiterated this way also have both folder paths indicated in their Folder field in their properties, the paths are separated by a semi-colon.
There is no visual differences between the shortcut and the original entry. Therefore, you’ll need to delete all entries to completely remove said entry. You will be asked for confirmation when attempting to delete said shortcut.
