Ah, that was it. No http... folder any more. Thanks so much. I do still get
a folder OSGeo4W on the desktop, containing a shortcut to the OSGeo4W shell,
though.

Noted re: GRASS. One extra icon is nothing like the problem we had before.
If I or others feel strongly enough, we can raise it with the GRASS devs.

Thanks for all the work. I'm really pleased that this, along with Nathan's
installer work (and much work by others) is lowering the barrier for Windows
users.

Thanks again

Tom
