Same here, programs I need to open directly and frequently are pinned to the taskbar (e.g. file manager, browsers, mail client, calculator, note takers), those I use occasionally are pinned to the start menu (e.g. reminders, registry editor, torrent client etc). I have 'gadgets' (dictionary, download manager, clipboard manager etc) in the tray, and some program shortcuts, such calibre.exe, in my Send To folder, but no program shortcuts on my desktop.

At one stage I ran separate portables for different libraries for that very reason. I wanted adds to my books library to get metadata from the book file, and adds to the other libraries to get metadata from the file name, I also wanted different settings relating to Author names.
However, I switched back to one calibre install because I found the effort to maintain all the other settings consistently across multiple portables a hassle. I adjust settings as needed and correct my mistakes when I forget to do so. I also didn't like the fact that I had to update each install of Portable whenever I wanted to upgrade to a new version.
More recently the Job Spy plugin has added tools to allow tweaking of some 'global' settings on a per-library basis.
