Home Updater: Option to not create Desktop Shortcut

I'd like the option to not create the Desktop Shortcut. I don't want a Desktop Shortcut. And currently, whenever "Patch My PC Home Updater" v5 updates, it automatically creates one that I have to delete, and it's tedious. Please provide the option to not create one!

      This feature was available in v4 and before, there was no good reason to leave it out of v5.
