You're welcome.
As a test, I removed Digital Editions from the Add/Remove Prorams applet in the Control Panel. Removal was almost instantaneous.
Clicking on the shortcut to the copy I'd made elsewhere re-installed it. I'm not sure what re-installation did (probably wrote a registry entry or two), but it didn't recreate the structure that the origial install did.
I don't keep shortcuts like that on the desktop - I like a clean, uncluttered screen. Instead, I create folders to hold various types of links, and put the shortcut in the appropriate folder. (It means I have to manually clean up dead links if I uninstall things, but that's easy.) Adobe DE lives in a folder on the desktop called eBook Software, along with Calibre, eReader, Mobi, et al. I'd be quite surprised if it disappeared from there...
I'll probably stick the actual program under \Program Files\Adobe with Acrobat Reader and the like. Why Adobe couldn't do that in the first place is beyond me.
