Automatic desktop shortcuts
Simply put, I hate when apps automatically add a desktop shortcut when they update or install. I don’t like them, I don’t want them, when given the option, which I should ALWAYS be given an option, I choose no. During install I always choose no shortcut. But then your app does an automatic update, restarts automatically, and then automatically makes a shortcut. I don’t like ANY of that. Apps should NOT do that much without user input. Maybe remember the setting from install. Maybe just make it a toggle in the settings. Or just ASK with a prompt. Like a good application.

I came here to say basically the exact same thing. WeMod/Wand devs, PLEASE stop automatically putting shortcuts on my desktop that I don’t want!

Right there with you! I DETEST desktop shortcuts in general and don’t use them. Every time this updates now, it’s putting a shortcut on the desktop and I hate it. Please give us the option to disable that.

Ich habe dasselbe Problem. Ich lösche die Verknüpfung fast jeden Tag aufs Neue, ich habe die Verknüpfung bereits in meinem Spiele-Ordner, warum sollte ich noch eine weitere auf meinem Desktop brauchen? Und das auch noch jeden Tag ungefragt erneut? Würde das jedes Programm so handhaben, würden meine Felder auf dem Desktop gar nicht ausreichen. Bitte alsbald ändern. Danke.

Was just writing up the very same post. Unwanted desktop shortcut shows up multiple times despite being deleted over and over and over again.

Real, please add an option to stop the app from creating desktop shortcut. I like my desktop clean/simple so It’s very annoying that I’ll have to manually delete the icon.
