As many, many, many users have noted, this is NOT RESOLVED.
There is STILL a shortcut that often appears on Windows desktop (after updates I believe), it is STILL locked with admin rights, even for hiding it.
I could insist on the uttermost uselessness of a shortcut on the desktop, why would I need a shortcut for a PDF reader that is already my default application for opening said documents ? EVEN IF I needed it, I am a big boy and I can make it on my own if I want it. If you think it is more convenient for users to make the shortcut without asking -which is frankly VERY intrusive-, then please consider that it is ALSO CONVENIENT to let users delete it if they do not want it. It is NOT CONVENIENT, neither for me nor to my IT services, to have to ask them to remove it every once in a while.
Letting people manage their shortcuts and their installation is primordial. Respecting your customers' needs is the basis of a good product.
I had been annoyed by your commercial politics for a while, but that's it, knowing that you've known of this issue for years, and done nothing, I quit. I won't use any of your products anymore, and don't expect me to recommend them.
