Personally more annoyed by the fact that, at least in XP, you sometimes 
get a message, "You are only deleting the shortcut to the file, not the 
file, are you sure?" Well, since 90% of the shortcuts are programs, 
deleting the original isn't going to do jack for me either, in any case, 
since it won't delete the other 2 GB of shit that got installed with the 
executable. If they cared about the distinction, they should provide an 
"Uninstall" option with that warning... Then again, its a warning for 
morons, so.. probably a bad idea, since some of them are bound to 
uninstall, when all they meant was to delete the shortcut. :p
