We may be able to solve the problem by providing our own shortcuts

I just tried with %USERPROFILE% and it works.
So can I assume that links are portable between machines (they are
binaries) ? If yes, I'll just include a standard link into the
distribution, inviting people to copy it to the desktop. This link can
also be configured to minimize the cmd window which would solve that
problem.
If the user starts GRASS from an existing console, they probably don't
want to change the current directory.
Nice also to finally get rid of this empty and useless cmd.exe window we
had before.
Do you mean with the changes the init.bat script is exiting/abandoning
after starting gis.m? The whole point of it staying running (and as a
side-effect keeping a command prompt Window open - I don't know how to
hide that but I presume it's possible)
The "start" command has a flag to hide the console window.
That is what Benjamin and I suggested to use. However, Paul is right
that we currenly need a cmd session to remain open in order to do the
clean up work at the end. And whichever way I turn the issue, I haven't
been able to find a satisfying solution, yet. For more details, see
