When you right click, if you 'Copy Shortcut', then click on the Desktop & right click and 'Paste Shortcut' you will place it on the Desktop.

I prefer to get my free utilities from the accompanying CDs with various PC Magazines - they have learned not to put 'Spyware' on their CDs - people complain them if they do... :-) so they test things first, including for known viruses, etc. Big files are faster to load than from dialup dnlds, too.
