This differs from the Additional Arguments in that the additional arguments are lines that are directly appended to the .desktop file when it is created on the target system.

<p class=rvps1><span class=rvts3>Program Folder Name</span></p>
<p class=rvps1><span class=rvts2>If the shortcut being installed is going into the Program Folder, this is the name of the program folder to put it into. By default, it uses the program folder for the rest of the installation.</span></p>
