I love this program- But one thing that REALLY gets on my nerves is that after I install tiled, I cannot delete the shortcut from the desktop. It just won't let me. It doesn't give me the option to NOT make one either.


Can you change this, please?

I was never too happy that this shortcut was unconditional either (though normally you should be able to delete it). In the latest installer (Tiled 1.4.2) there is a checkbox that you can uncheck to avoid the creation of the desktop shortcut. It only took me about half a day to make this small change to the installer... :S

To remove this (and other) all users shortcuts from the desktop, go to:

C:\Users\Public\Desktop

That is the "all users on this computer" copy of the desktop - stuff there will appear on all user desktops, and can't be deleted from individual user desktops.  However, you can remove them from this folder - and then that'll remove it from every user's desktop (but won't impact any shortcuts they established themselves).
