Hi! It is not uncommon that software asks politely for permission to add desktop icons. That is one suggestion. Another is to create a Qgis icon folder in the startup tree where the seldom used icons can be put in a sub folder under the standard Qgis desktop and browser icons. The icon folder should be named after the Qgis version, with a user option to rename it. This is how FME has done for years, which also incidently makes it easy to keep and adress parallel installations of a couple of older versions, as a precaution against disruptive bugs. I know of no other software that needs to explain what has been installed.
