Which, by the way, are actually quite horrible thing at least in managed environments. Uninstalling, updating and patching have to be made by the user who installed the program (with elevated priviledges, of course.) User could log in, install a program then log out and after that there is no clean way to uninstall the program from machine without the very same user logging back in. And please all remember that ALLUSERS is a public property, so it can and will be easily overridden. It's much more important to make your msi's behave well in all possible installation scenarios than try to fiddle with Desktop Icons, All Users, ALLUSERS etc. to make the installation "perfect" for local Administrator.
