Spun off from Issue3561: I recently saw Brian Curtin's Pycon 2012 presentation. If a goal is to make it easy for new Windows users to run python, consider (optionally) installing a desktop shortcut. This would make it easy for new users to run python (easier than starting up a shell). This does not require the path to be modified. The installer could also (optionally) add a shortcut for starting up a command interpreter with the path modified (for just that shortcut), in case command line access is needed. This would not be necessary if the python being installed is added to the path. The first shortcut would be enabled by default, to help truly novice users. Other users could turn it off, or just delete the shortcut. |

Is it really the case that novice users fail to understand the Start menu? |

Never mind. I think I used the start menu to do it myself. |

What's the start menu? hahaha I think that this issue is pointless, it takes 3 clicks to make a desktop shortcut (if have a lot of programs on your computer, maybe 4) any Windows user should know how to do it. |

I've never felt the need for these shortcuts but what do the rest of you guys think about it? |

Not going to happen. The desktop is for users, not installers, and apps installing shortcuts all over it is one of the reasons we got the Start Screen in Windows 8 (where only users can add items - no way for installers to do it). Besides, such an option would be off by default, which means you're probably looking at more than three clicks to enable it in the installer. Users can easily pin it to the taskbar or copy the shortcut to the desktop, and admins can push out a shortcut to all users on their network if they like. Either option is better than the installer doing it. |
