Yes, in a W-E standard configuration, there is no short-cut attached to the
W-E icon on the desktop.
When installing W-E, the short-cut to launch W-E is not attached to the W-E
icon on the desktop, it is attached to the item of the Windows start-up menu
"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start
Menu\Programs\Window-Eyes\Window-Eyes.lnk"
May be you could try to delete the short-cut attached to this item in
the Windows start-up menu, and define one for the W-E icon on the desktop,
then check if
the multiple lauching of W-E is still present.
