Thanks for the links, they were most helpful. I worry, however, that if I remove it from the Launcher that the user may not understand why it is not there, and may not be able to figure out how to launch it. I don't suppose that there is any way to remove it from the launcher after it has been run?
Has anyone used this model before? If so can you tell me what kind of problems with users you encountered? Thanks.
