Windows XP Pro, Pentium 4:
I just uninstalled/reinstalled OOo with AV off, etc., to see if it
helped some of the problems I've come across. Which reminded me of this
shortcoming:
Installation does not create any desktop or quicklaunch icons nor does
it place a shortcut in the Programs folder.
It's only an annoyance to me, but I suspect others less versed in the
operating systems, will be confused by it and possibly not know how to
get their icons or even find their icon targets since, e.g., "writer" is
"swriter.exe", etc., which was the first thing I searched for.
IMO it should at least create a Programs entry and a Desktop icon.
Better, allow the opportunity to create them or not, or at least a
shortcut for soffice, minimum, during installation.
So, documentation wise, this would make a great entry. If it's already
there I can't find it, but apologies if I just missed it somehow;
perhaps it needs to stand out more clearly on the readme files.
IMO the "s" prefix of the filenames should also be mentioned.

As one going through that state at this time, I'd have to agree it
would be pretty helpful. A couple of the sticking points for me were:
-- Duplicating Word's Insert; Section Break; New Page for example.
It's actually easily done in OOo, but when you're coming from Word, it
doesn't feel "intuitive" since you think you want to Insert a special
kind of Break.
-- File selection dialog boxes don't seem to let me switch to a
different drive or distant folder. All I have is "UP" one folder or
choose from the display. I cna "up" a number of times and get there,
but ... .
I may take a look at the link given; OOs is well worth supporting if I
can actually make some good and as yet unposted comments.

Strange, my installation into Windows XP Pro, created a folder in the
Start/All Programs menu, with icons for each part of the program
(Writer, Calc, et al) - it's done that for the last two or three
versions, that I've used.
