with putty i would be surprised if most didn't run it straight from the desktop. i would be a dirty liar if i said i haven't, countless times.

This. Without an installer that puts a link into the start menu, everyone I've ever worked with just dumps it on the desktop. I used to throw a symlink into the start menu, but when other devs used my machine they expected it to be on the desktop. Just one of those quirks of using PUTTY

But why not just use the installer?
