the idea behind this issue is really reasonable. Finding a location of installed software is real quest some time. At least button Launch/open will be easy to add(I hope) and extremely useful - as there is one reason to install application is to Launch/Run/Open it. But location even in text form

For an absolute beginner, holding their hand and waiting them to move the cursor to open the menus one by one would seem nice, but it will start to annoy you after the third program you've installed, and it will seem like the system thinks you're dumb. Instead, just open the menu tree and flash a

David, I had already specified a Where is it? button I'm not sure Matt... it all seems tremendously over the top to me. I mean, having a fake pointer appear and open your menus for you? I really don't know, it really seems too much to me. Considering that the installed to approach shown in the
