  Those two sentences feel contradictory to me.

  If you were fluent at using Windows you wouldn't have the slightest
problems in using POV-Ray 3.6 and 3.7beta (especially given that the
latter is just an .exe which you can put besides the 3.6 exe in the
same directory).

  Because you are badmouthing the pov-team by (IMO) unjustly criticizing
how they are distributing the 3.7 beta.

  The desktop is one place where you can put the shortcut. You can put
it somewhere else. Heck, you can put it in the same place where you
have the shortcut to pov3.6. I just can't see the problem you are having.

  Even if you don't use a shortcut for pov3.6 *at all*, I still can't see
the problem. That means that you are launching pov3.6 by directly going
to its directory and launching the executable. What is the problem if
there was another executable (pov3.7) there as well?
