installer does not allow for shortcut changes or more than one

I have been trying to create a shortcut for the Start Menu and the Desktop. I can create the two shortcuts except they are exactly setup the same. I try to change one or the other and they both revert back to the original settings. In the attached images you will see that I change the subdirectory to nothing. When I come back to the shortcuts area, the subdirectory is back. If I create a second shortcut, it is the same as the first... I cannot change it.

 

photo 1: this is how it starts, default

photo 2: My changes... subdirectory is removed

photo 3: I leave the shortcuts area

photo 4: I return to the shortcuts area and the subdirectory is back.

 

If I create another shortcut, it will act exactly the same. Both shortcuts will be setup as the first photo. No changes stay.

 

What is going on here?

Once you remove the folder you must hit enter on the keyboard for it to take. Delete the text and hit enter in that box. I had this issue before as well. The real question is: why does labview want to create a folder on the desktop to put the shortcut in? Most all windows applications default to shortcut on desktop. No sub folder.
