Comment(by mo):
> I think there are two types of Tor users: (1) those who want/need to
keep zero traces of Tor on their system; and (2) those who don't care
about traces of Tor on their system. I'm in the latter group, and I
suspect many others users feel likewise. The trade-off is computer
illiterate/novice users in oppressive countries that may not realize they
*need* to be in group 1 . . .
Leaving "no traces" on a system is a fine goal, but impossible. Windows
already logs enough about executed processes etc. Just adding a shortcut
and a removal entry won't do much difference, especially when people leave
the TBB directory lying around. If you want to get rid of TBB, you will
always have to actively do something, be it running an uninstaller or
delete the directory on their own. Currently, users cannot be sure what it
takes to uninstall TBB, and we often get questions about it. Hey, an
uninstaller could even wipe/shred the files ...
