Don't create a desktop shortcut by default

[gencha]

Please note that Microsoft specifically mentions this point in the Windows Customer Experience Guidelines for developers:

QUOTE BEGIN If you do only one thing... Don't abuse the desktop—keep users in control. If your target users are likely to use your program frequently, provide an option during setup to put a shortcut on the desktop, unselected by default. QUOTE END

While you're at it, remove the quick launch shortcut default as well.

Better yet, just remove this option entirely. The menuing system is easy to use, and starting 6.5 years ago, it's super easy to pin a commonly used program to the taskbar.
