Abstract
The present invention relates to a system and methodology for transmitting icon information from a remote system to a local system. The icon information is extracted from an application residing on the remote system. The icon information is then encoded and stored until it is requested by the remote system. When the application is remotely accessed by the local system, the icon information is pushed to the local system. The local system decodes the information and displays the icon to a user. The icon is displayed such that the application appears to reside on the local system, rather than the remote system, where it actually resides.
