Description
The installer always creates Desktop shortcuts to "OSGeo4W Shell" even if the "Create icon on Desktop" checkbox is not checked.
The link is created on the Desktop in a folder named like the "Start menu name" at the end of the post install processes.

Using the installer I just now downloaded from http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/osgeo4w-setup-x86_64.exe, it continues to place an OSGeo4W folder on the desktop even though Create icon on desktop is not checked.

I agree that this is a defect. Not only is putting shortcuts on the desktop contrary to best practices, the OSGeo4W Shell shortcut is already in the Start Menu, so this shortcut is just duplicate cruft.
