Describe the improvement

The shortcut manager would be a lot easier to manage for me if I could just set it to always delete all desktop shortcuts.

Describe how this improvement could help users

I keep a clean desktop. I use no shortcuts, and the shortcut manager has the tendency to miss one or two. It might be that I'm not setting it correctly, but I have not gotten it to always delete all shortcuts. I've had this issue on three different PC's. Having to maintain a list of apps that don't keep shortcuts is superfluous for people like me, and confusing when all I want is no shortcuts.

Thank you for your consideration.

On latest beta (released 2 days ago) there is an option to manually add missing shortcuts, is this what you are looking for?

[mrixner]

No, he wants an option to automatically remove all desktop shortcuts without asking confirmation if any are ever found. Honestly, I would probably turn this on; I have the same mentality he does, which is why I added the feature in the first place! What do you think, Martí? I don't know how'd you feel if there was an option to just wipe the user's desktop (of shortcuts), it seems a little risky.

[marticliment]

I don't think wiping the user's desktop is a good idea/practice. However, perhaps all new .lnk files could be deleted automatically, instead of being asked for

That was what I meant. I will work on this when I get time
