ica file but Outlook 2010 will not open until you click it. Without the plugin, you will download an. This all happens quickly and seamless making it seem like Outlook 2010 launches immediately.

If your user is already running Receiver but gets offered the Receiver download this will be confusing and could potentially be a bad thing. If your user does not have Receiver then they can not launch their Citrix application or desktop, so this is a good thing. As an aside, you may have noticed that Internet Explorer has an ActiveX control that does the same thing. Without this plugin, it assumes you do not have Receiver and will offer it for you to download and install. The NPAPI plugin that Receiver (Windows and Mac) installs allows Receiver for Web (aka StoreFront) to detect if Citrix Receiver is or is not installed.
