Or you could just right-click the desktop, add new shortcut, browse to

That is a shortcut, not a system icon then.
In other words the right click functionality differs...

This was made for people who want to go to the Iexp. options fast...

They removed it from RTM. It was there up to RC2 and subsequent drops.

So they did. I still have the icon on my desktop, though. I wonder if it's
