Annoying Citrix Program Neighborhood (PNA) agent PopUp

Problem Description: Whenever a user is logs in to Citrix, the below popup appears asking “What is the address of the server hosting your published resources?”
Solution: I propose two solutions

1) Delete the shortcut of the Citrix Program Neighborhood Agent from the Startup of the Workstation to get rid of this POPUP.
 Go to Start--> All Progs--> Startup-->Citrix XenApp --> Right Click and Delete
This will stop this annoying Popup but can be configured later if needed.

2) Create a PNA website along with the web interface. The default site name will be like as mentioned below. Configure this Url when the popup appears again
http://servername/Citrix/PNAgent/config.xml

You will get a new Pop up for the password prompt with user name and then you can see the application of this farm in your system tray on the right hand side bottom of your workstation. The Pop up will not appear again and you can login to the applications directly from the system tray rather than using the Web interface.
