    Win 10:
    Run the CMD prompt as administrator (Search CMD from the tool bar, right click, run as administrator)
    Change directory to the public desktop
    (Should be something like CD \Users\Public\Desktop)
    Change the attributes of the .lnk file to read only and hidden
    attrib +H +R "Adobe Acrobat DC.lnk"

    This hides it rather than deleting it... Lets see if it comes back...
    Otherwise make a bat file that "IF EXIST" the lnk file, delete it.. and run that each morning...

    Sigh.. Thanks for listening to your customers Adobe !

    Adobe has been doing this for years, people have been asking them for an option NOT to for years, Adobe have been ignoring us for years.
    I really like Adobe over others... But I am now looking for something less intrusive (and something that doesn't have to check for updates every hour to patch issues)
