About XIA Links
A centralized shortcut manager for Windows that controls desktop icons shown to users.
XIA Links is a desktop icon and shortcut management tool for Windows environments, developed by CENTREL Solutions. It is designed for IT professionals in organizations such as enterprises, government bodies, and schools to standardize and control user desktops.

Key capabilities include granular access control based on Active Directory users and groups, application detection that hides shortcuts to unavailable software, and a one-click repair function. The software is deployed on-premise. A 30-day free trial is available, but pricing requires contacting sales for a quote. Support is offered through an online ticketing system and email.
