------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Feb 26 15:33:35 +0000 2008 ------- of: I came here to file an issue after seeing yet another request for help by a new user who couldn't find an "icon" for OOo on the desktop after installation. It may not be standard practice to create links on the desktop in other operating systems, but it is standard practice to create shortcuts in Windows, and many users expect it. I frequently install new programs, and OOo is the only one I can recall which does not at least offer to create shortcuts on the desktop and Quick Launch bar. The installation does create an installation files folder on the desktop. Sometimes new users think this is the shortcut to start the program and come to one of the OOo forums to ask why they can't start OOo using the "shortcut". Others try to create a shortcut by dragging soffice.exe to the desktop and then come to the forums to complain when OOo won't start. I think it would be better to create the shortcuts during installation. They can simply be deleted if unwanted. Not creating them causes problems for users who expect them to be there and don't know how to create them. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
