[Python-Dev] Search-friendly shortcuts for Windows?

[Adal Chiriliuc]

Microsoft recommendations:

Avoid putting a version number in a program name unless that is how
users normally refer to your program.

Put only program shortcuts on the Start menu. Don't put shortcuts to
the following items on the Start menu:
- Program uninstallers. Users access uninstallers through the Programs
control panel item.
- Help files. Users access Help topics directly from your program.

I think it's fine for Python to use a version number and to put links
to the manual in the Start Menu (since Python doesn't have a Help
menu). But the uninstall shortcut should go.

I also don't think that "command line" should be used in the title.

And why is the .CHM file called "Manuals"? Why the plural? When seeing
this title I thought that maybe it's a link to the Doc directory. Most
of the .CHM files that I have in my Start Menu are called "abc
Documentation", and a couple "abc Users Manual". The help file it's
also titled "Python v2.7 documentation" when opened, so maybe it
should be renamed to "Python 3.2 Documentation".
