Bug Description

I just installed the bzr-2.0rc2-1 installer, and checked the "Create a Bazaar Explorer" icon on the desktop. After doing so, it created a shortcut that:
1) Did not have a target
2) Did not have an icon

I had to create my own by browsing to C:\Program Files\Bazaar\bzr.exe and Create Shortcut on Desktop.

After doing that I had a shortcut with an icon, and then I changed it to add "explorer" as part of the command line, and to "start minimized" because of the issue with showing a console window by default.

This should be fixed in the 2.0.0 installer, or we should just remove the option to create the desktop link.

Ian says this doesn't need fixing in bzr itself, please reopen if it does.
