The installer does not make desktop icons.

By default, the installer puts an 'all users' install in 'Programs 
Files'.  A 'me only' install goes in an obscure place in 
/users/me/appdata (hidden directory).  At least for 'all users' install, 
you can change the default.

After installation, a Python x.y entry is put under Start Menu => All 
apps => P.
