twipley Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Is desktop icon at installation really necessary? Most applications I have seen do not put such an icon on the desktop by default. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 If I'm not mistaken - you can select not to install it when you run the installer. I can just image the numbers of new posts if it was not in the installer by default - "I've installed the program but I can't find it". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, when you install it the program asks if you want a desktop icon or not, simply untick the checkbox next time you install it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twipley Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 Yes, a whole lot better. I don't think the forum would be overloaded with questions if this option was not set as default though, but I don't view the shortcut as really necessary either, because, as I've already said, the only of my usual applications by default creating a shortcut on the desktop except ImgBurn is Firefox, and I think the latter is the only one really deserving such a place on the desktop. This has got to be the most important topic ever, by the way. ironically, twipley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
