Nope, no shortcut there and did not delete anything. Could it have had
something to do with IE not being able to reach wherever it was going? I
just hate the way it doesn't launch my default browser, which is btw
exactly the same stupidity as the "Windows update" shortcut at
the top of my start menu. Grrr...

   A shortcut to
http://www.microsoft.com/security/bulletins/200409_jpeg_tool.mspx should
have been created on your desktop.  Could you have deleted it?

  ...where did it go? I installed it, it ran and said it had something to
tell
  me and would I like to know more, well duh yes, isn't that exactly why I
ran
  it in the first place you damn stupid idiot, go ahead. So it launches the
  browser, but not my default browser, oh no, it launches IE which is not
  allowed to go through my firewall, so I never see what it is trying to
tell
  me. Okey dokey, no biggie, just open the firewall for IE temporarily and
run
  the tool again - except that I don't know where it's hiding. Right, so
let's
  download the bugger again and give it a new go - you guessed it, now it
  doesn't show up in the list of available patches.

  Not in the start menu anywhere, not in the control panel, not even in the
  damn security center thingy where it could almost even belong to. Tried
  searching for files modified today, and nothing executable there.

  ARG! Bloodpressure rising!

  I really hate this attitude that nothing matters as long as it's got an
EULA
  that is at least seventy pages long. Yay for assholes once more running
the
  show!
