Suppressing Server name pop ups for Receiver installs

There are so many ways:

1. You can supress the server name pop ups for new Receiver client installation by renaming CitrixReceiver.exe as CitrixReceiverWeb.exe. The name is case sensitive. If you install receiver client using "CitrixReceiverWeb.exe", then it doesn't show pop ups for server name.

2. Add "/ALLOWADDSTORE=N" switch while instaling through commandline

3. Changing Registry values post installation to suppress the Add Account window.

Under HKLM\Software\Citrix\Dazzle, set AllowAddStore value to N. Restart Citrix Receiver for Windows to apply the new Registry value.

4. Adding the follwoing reg keys under Hkey_Current_User
