[Qgis-user] desktop icons on fresh windows

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!
It is not uncommon that software asks politely for permission to add desktop icons. That is one suggestion.
Another is to create a Qgis icon folder in the startup tree where the seldom used icons can be put in a sub folder under the standard Qgis desktop and browser icons.
The icon folder should be named after the Qgis version, with a user option to rename it.
This is how FME has done for years, which also incidently makes it easy to keep and adress parallel installations of a couple of older versions, as a precaution against disruptive bugs.
I know of no other software that needs to explain what has been installed. 

Hälsning / Regards
Mats.E
