[GRASS-dev] [GRASS GIS] #2811: Reduce number of Start menu shortcuts on MS Windows

#2811: Reduce number of Start menu shortcuts on MS Windows
-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
Reporter: wenzeslaus | Owner: grass-dev@…
     Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.0.3
Component: Packaging | Version: svn-
Keywords: start menu, shortcut, user- | releasebranch70
  friendly, WinGRASS | CPU: Unspecified
Platform: MSWindows 8 |
-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
Typing "grass" on Win 8 and Win 10 gives 4 entries for one installed GRASS
GIS version. The entries are:

* GRASS GIS GUI
* GRASS GIS CLI
* GRASS GIS Website
* GRASS GIS Release Notes

The actual order is usually much worse than what is above, so it is pretty
hard to find the think user wants to use.

I suggest to leave just the "GRASS GIS GUI" entry. The Release Notes link
doesn't go to any release notes anyway. If we want to promote the Website
link we can put it to the Help menu in GUI as many other projects do. And
the CLI-only version is not really need. If somebody want to use CLI-only
GRASS, he or she is already using Linux.

First attempt done in r66925. I will check next build. I left in the start
menu only one item - "Launch GRASS GIS", nothing else.

I finished modifications in trunk, see menu for standalone install
attachment:grass71-win.png and just one item in OSGeo4W menu in the case
of OSGeo4W framework attachment:grass71-osgeo.png.

If no objections I will do backport to rel70.
