After you file

Others have stated how to delete but others missed it.  Here is the fastest way to delete.   (from PC, not sure about Apple)

Right click the shortcut

Select "Open File Location"

Right Click the Shortcut

Select Delete

Enter the Admin password

 

Note:  Other such shortcuts (mostly anti-virus) allow deleting from the desktop by selecting and pressing the delete key or Right click and then delete.

 

Two questions to ask.

Why is Intuit requiring administrators permission to delete a shortcut created while installing their application.

I must have provided the Admin Password *WITHOUT THINKING* but why would Intuit need my Admin Password for an application.

From now on, if I use any Intuit software again, it will be installed on a clean (no system with financial, medical, legal, etc. information on it) computer.

 

This is not the first time they became invasive.  I quit registering my software after the first time. Now, I don't know.  Given the political climate I'm nervous about their intent.
