What I also completely fail to understand is given that this has apparently never worked, why the instructions for 2.22 stable release say to do this, and that people are advised explicitly to choose the stable release if they want, well, stability and presumably correct operation.
Now it's all very well saying the new version has dropped the app because it was limited, but it was good enough for a very long time, an also, obviously, this is not mentioned in the manual for the stable release.
Are we still updating 2.22? Can I volunteer to remove that section from the installation page?
To a large extent I don't care. I don't use Windows for LilyPond. But I am sure there are many who do. It's a bad UX to have the first steps in the instructions fail. It's enough for people to remove the program right away, if that's the opening overture.
As to using a different file manager, well the whole point is that this is a problem on the desktop, and it's convenient to have working files on the desktop for quick and easy access.

The UAC limitation you refer to is irrelevant, as that only concerns cross-application behavior where one process has a lower privilege level. There would be no such problem when you are dragging and dropping files within the shell itself, as would be the case when dropping onto a desktop shortcut.
