>BTW, when dragging the control panel icon to the desktop, I mistakenly used the left mouse button. This created the shortcut as well, but without the choice to cancel or create shortcut.

Right, but right clicking and dragging is a good habit to get into because you have to select exactly what you want to do. Here's why that's important, sometimes when you left click and drag the file gets moved other times only a shortcut is created. If one time you left click and drag then delete the original then go back and find you only have a shortcut to the original you too will become a right click and dragger for life. Necessary? No. Good habit? Definitely.
