------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Feb 15 09:27:55 +0000 2008 ------- I have about 50 different pieces of software installed on my PC. Can you imagine my desktop if every program did what you guys are doing? The desktop is MINE and I really hate programs leaving their stuff there without my permission. What makes OO _particularly_ bad is that unlike shortcuts, I can't just delete or move the files without breaking some dependencies. Another reason not to leave YOUR setup files on MY desktop. In corporate environments the desktop is often stored in the roaming profile. The roaming profile disk space quotas can be fairly restrictive. Another reason why this is a bad default. MS Office leaves the setup files on the PC as well. Where are they? I don't know and I couldn't care less. I'm sure 99% other users don't care either. They are not on the desktop, they do not interfere. By leaving them on the desktop you REQUIRE the users to care. Leave them somewhere if you have to but not on the user's own private personal space! (MS Office installer is also kind enough to tell you that it's left X megabytes of files which it could delete for you immediately if you don't want them.) SUGGESTIONS: 1. Offer the user an option to delete the files at the end of the install process. 2. Store them _wherever_ you want OTHER THAN my Desktop and My Documents. C:/Windows/$MyProgramsInstaller$ seems to be a common place for these things. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
