How to Connect Using a Desktop Shortcut

Save time by connecting directly to a computer using a secure shortcut on a client computer.

Create a LogMeIn desktop shortcut on the client computer, as follows:
- Go to www.LogMeIn.com and log in to your account using your LogMeIn ID (email address) and password.
- Go to Computers > Properties of a computer > Desktop Shortcut.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
Use the newly created shortcut to connect to the host:
- Double-click the shortcut on the client desktop. You do not need to log in to your LogMeIn account.
- Log on to the host using the appropriate authentication method.
Your session begins upon successful authentication.

Tip: For maximum security, you should not use a LogMeIn desktop shortcut on a public or shared computer.
