If you run the install and DEselect to create icons, it will ask you to create them again next time. It's only doing a simple check if files exist to determine if the box is checked. If the files don't exist, then is asks to create them, so there is no way to say "never create icons". The only way it doesn't ask to create them is if they're already there, which is no help to people who never want them. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
