@sgunhouse I have the same problem and submitted a bug report. I have NEVER had a desktop shortcut installed (I do not like nor use them); however, starting a few weeks ago, Opera updates insist on installing a shortcut onto my pristine desktop.

Tell me how to fix Opera's update bug.

Note: I assume it's a bug because I've been using Opera for over 20 years and it's never done this to me before. It'd be a shame to quit using it for such a lame bug.

It's been a month. My bug report has been ignored. The problem remains. I will now abandon Opera after using it for over 20 years. I will not tolerate abide the dishonorable owners of this browser any longer.

To all who remain, g'luck. (You'll need it in spades.)
