I am wondering if there is a way, such that when you deploy a .NET
Application via the web with no-touch deployment, there is a way to
allow the user to relaunch the application without being connected to
the net, as long as the application has been visited before. I
understand that there is a link in the temporary internet files. I am
wondering if there is another location that I might be missing, or if
there might be some extra magic that has to be done to get this
functionality.

As I recall, that is not possible with No-touch deployment. Based upon the
presentations I have seen, this issue has been addressed with No-touch's
replacement, Click Once (which is part of Visual Studio 2005). There are
couple Microsoft's webcasts on Click Once if you are interested.

That is what I was afraid of. Unfortunately we probably will not be
lucky enough to get to use VS 2k5's Click Once for an extremely long
time in this particular scenario.

As an alternative, you might want to check out a nifty download utility that
