    More than two years after the original post and the utterly USELESS Adobe Reader shortcut still annoys millions of users. All my co-workers agree, and a quick Google search proves this is still a universal complaint.

    Who opens a pdf from the Adobe shortcut anyway, and what other purpose does it have for any daily use (what desktop shortcuts are meant for)?

    The Adobe Reader shortcut which is stuck to my desktop is just UNPROFESSIONAL and reflects poorly on Adobe.

    "Currently the behavior is as designed" - really? What gives Adobe the right to clutter MY desktop with this utterly useless shortcut, and then insult us "ordinary folk" by preventing us from removing it, then having to ask admin to do this measly task again, and again, and again, and again... !?

    Is one of many alternative pdf software the only solution to avoid this ANNOYING and CONDESCENDING behavior by Adobe, or should we trust Adobe to finally fix it ?

    Adobe, you could re-gain some trust by fixing this for good!
    Seriously, it is not that difficult - it is a simple installer table setting that just needs to default to 0 instead of 1, and can be implemented in the very next Adobe Reader "update"...!
