I like that Galaxy automatically updates my games, but I don't like that it puts new shortcut icons on the desktop when it does. I don't keep game shortcuts on my desktop. Any way I can change the folder where the new shortcuts are placed? Or just stop it from doing that?

So I should uninstall and reinstall without that option? I guess that works. Thanks Grargar :)

No need to uninstall anything; just delete/move the existing desktop shortcuts and make sure to untick the "create desktop shortcuts" option for any future installation.

Something that I forgot to metion is that, aside their installation folder, shortcuts can also be located in the Start Menu.

Moving the existing shortcut doesn't work; that's the point. I moved the shortcut to my Games folder, but every time there's an update, a new shortcut appears on my desktop.

I see. I'd still recommend that you install a new game first (without having the "desktop shortcut" option selected) before uninstalling anything, as I remember this being a universal setting.

Interesting, hopefully that will fix it universally then. Thanks again Grargar :D
