I'm curious: if you move the component that is per-user into a separate feature, would you still get the reboot? The reason is that in this scenario, when the new user starts up the system, and Windows Installer discovers that the per-user component "isn't installed" it first starts a repair.

When I had set up my shortcut (unadvertised, but I am not sure that matters) mentioned a few posts back, I got the impression that the registry key didn't really matter; it was just a "vestige" of some Windows Installer weirdness and would sort of "pollute" the installing user's profile, but tha
