    I don't have the "stupid Quick Access shortcut on my desktop" ... because I still have Quick Access turned on.
    Thanks for the information on how to turn it off.
    BTW, when I turned it off, I did get the "stupid Quick Access shortcut". Strange that it appeared intermittently, as already described.
    But the second fix, above, eliminated that.

    So, thanks for this.
