How to Disable New Desktop Icon and Start Menu Folder at Update?

Norton recently took it upon themselves to update my NIS software, which had been working fine for the better part of a decade, to Norton Security, v22.20.2.57. Now, when automatic update runs, it leaves a desktop icon and a Start menu folder. I don't want either of these, and I don't want to have to delete them every time NIS updates. How can I disable this?

OK, I chatted with support online and the answer is, Norton creates a desktop icon and new Start menu folder when the program is updated. There isn’t a way to disable this.

Does Norton tech support read this forum?
