does not create desktop shortcut

hello Audacity does not create a desktop shortcut. Audacity requires a full install each time I open the program. Help?

So as it turns out, Windows makes this very easy. Simply drag the Audacity entry from your Start Menu to the desktop. Window will create a desktop icon for you. And don’t worry, it will also stay in the Start Menu.
