   I found this key in the registry. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\Installer]
   "Disable_DesktopShortcut_AAM"="1"

   I am changing the "1" to a "0" I'll see what happens. I also added this key as well based on the Microsoft Edge shortcut on the desktop.

   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat]
   "CreateDesktopShortcutDefault"=dword:00000000

   I'll let you know what happens.
