Yes the messages will varry but the principle is basically the same. the
shortcut on the desktop is just that, a shortcut. If you delete it you
haven't uninstalled or deleted the program. Don't let what the message says
get you.
Try it yourself and you'll see. In other words, delete an icon from your
desktop and send it to the recycle bin. You'll see that you are still able
to access it via the start menu and under programs it'll still be there.
