Jpackage Windows shortcuts

[Rachel Greenham]

FWIW uninstall working for me from Windows 10's "Apps & features" panel. 
Could it be doing something different when done from "Add/Remove 
Programs"? And (wild guessing) might that be related to the known bug 
about old versions not being uninstalled properly during upgrade? 
<https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8214564>

(You might already be able to tell Windows isn't my main platform, only 
having to use it for this! ;-) )
