[Python-Dev] Search-friendly shortcuts for Windows? (original) (raw)

Given the changing dynamics of the desktop launch menus to better support direct access as an alternative to hierarchical navigation, would it be reasonable to consider including the major version number in the start menu shortcut names?

(Question is mainly for Martin, obviously, but I'm also curious if anyone else has encountered the same thing)

I can't see anything wrong with that, but I'm terrible with wording. So somebody would have to spell out the exact wording that each of the start menu items should have. In doing so, also take into consideration that some people install 32-bit and 64-bit versions simultaneously.

Regards, Martin
