Isn't this exactly what I just said ? You even quoted where I said it ! What
was the point of doing that ?

People like you forget that some users of POV-Ray are much less technical than
yourselves. Some users who don't know how to create an icon on their desktop,
for example. I take the attitude that it is much, much easier to click on an
unwanted desktop icon and press the 'delete' key (see, it's not that hard, is
it ???), than it is to create an icon where there isn't one (especially if the
user doesn't know how to do so).

I have been writing and maintaining the installers for POVWIN for six years now
and have a good idea of what to do and what to avoid, based on hard experience*.
I am not going to change it, and that's final.

If you feel that the two entries in the start menu (the group and the shortcut)
are excessive, please take my invitation to use the 'uninstall' feature, which
will remove those nasty, horrid, excessive icons from your computer once and for
all.
