+  - If at any time you wish to add more apps just return to step one of the Add Apps section.
+==== Final Notes: ====
+  * Now that you've logged in using the receiver you will have much more convenient access to your applications than you would have going through the cloudapps web interface.
+  * If configured properly you will end up with Citrix hosted applications on your desktop and in your start menu as shown:\\ {{:gsellcpublic:desktop_with_icons.jpg?300|}}\\ These icons can be used to launch the cloud-based applications conveniently.
+  * Cloud based applications should end in "- GSE LLC" to make it easy to discern cloud based applications from locally installed applications, it is important to make this distinction:\\ {{:gsellcpublic:2_vmwares.jpg|}}
+  * If at any point you cannot find the receiver app and cannot find the application you wish to launch - you can access the receiver app again using the steps outlined in the [[gsellcpublic:citrix_receiver_use#find_it|Find it section]].
