Funny thing.  I just installed under Windows yesterday and ran into this very
problem.  It seems to me that if you don't have any shortcuts to start the
program, that you'd *want* it to start automatically.  Vice versa as well.  If
you don't have it start automatically, you have to have some way to start it, a
shortcut being the standard Windows way of doing that.  I chose 'no shortcuts'
thinking it would ask me later if I wanted it to start automatically with
Windows.  Didn't it used to?  Best would be to have that option in the config
window, not just on installation.

Otherwise, the new installer looks great!  I love the slick graphics, and the
JVM download worked much better than I thought it would.  Your beautiful,
beautiful Hops graphic didn't scale so well to the system tray.

Bravo, altogether.
