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 ...
