WidgetFX does not automatically start in Windows if you are offline at time of startup

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make sure you load WidgetFX at least once so it can install a shortcut
in the "Startup" menu under Windows.
2. Disable your network and wireless cards.
3. Restart windows, after logging in WidgetFX will try to startup but the
javaws will return an error dialog because it can't load the remote JNLP
address it is given in the shortcut that is in the startup menu.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
WidgetFX should launch even if you are offline.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows XP, using the latest version before 1.2 (1.1? Can't tell no about
dialog)

Please provide any additional information below.

The shortcut in the startup menu looks like this;
%windir%\system32\javaws.exe http://widgetfx.org/dock/launch.jnlp

Instead, WidgetFX should either copy the shortcut created by javaws or use
the localfile argument and put the path to the cached version of the app.
The problem is I don't thin there's an API to find out that location ...

C:\WINDOWS\system32\javaws.exe -localfile "C:\Documents and
Settings\**username**\Application
Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\48\103a1530-563c214e"
