This has been around a bit but I thought I might post a quick tidbit on it. Citrix says all you have to do is add the site to your “Trusted Site” zone. Well, this works for *most* but not all situations. Sometimes it launches and gives you this screen:
I had this happen to me personally. All I did was rename HKCR\PROTOCOLS\Filter\application/x-ica to application/x-ica.bak
I then opened a new web browser and everything worked fine!
The whole of this site is to promote the IRC channel. The more people in the channel the better the support is for all!

Had a great time at Synergy. It was well documented by David McGeough on his blogs.
I made his first blog post here. Look at 3:36 in the video.
I’m the goofy looking guy with the black CitrixIRC shirt on. Also in the picture is David (top left), Stephane Thirion (archy.net) and Geert Braakhekke (who seems to be everywhere).
