Closed but not forgotten

For Windows users there is a temptation to ***click-n-wish***, set the installer
running  and not look at any options.

For a desktop shortcut, which might be expected by some, the ***customize***
option is used. This gives the opportunity to set file type associations and
menu options.

A short 3 minute video, a demo in Win 10 but equally applicable to other Windows
versions.
