Then it's a bug, since I'm running the program as Administrator.  I even 
created a folder in the C:/My Documents/All Users folder (maybe there 
was another folder in between, I'm not a Windows person, so I may have 
lost track).

Wow.  I never new there were debug options on IzPack.  Cool.

BTW, as for debugging, a while back I uploaded DataCheckPanel, which 
prints out a list of all variables when called and also displays them 
in a window.  I played around with that and checked some code and 
finally found that there is an undocumented variable, 
"DesktopShortcutCheckboxEnabled" that, when set to true, automatically 
checks the "Create Desktop Shortcuts" button.
