When working with VS.Net's Setup solutions, I can set it to put a shortcut
on the User's desktop and during installation it will prompt the user if
this program should be installed for all users or just this user. Does
anyone know of a way I can make it default to All Users? Or even better,
skip that section and force it to be installed for all users?
 
There's no such thing as "common Desktop".
IMHO easiest and most reliable way to create a shortcut is to use Windows
Script Host (through interop)
