> Aside from the superfluous GUI menu of launchers in the Windows system tray,

> overhead--e.g. delay of an AntiVirus scan on initial LibreOffice launch, so
> leaving it running can improve response. But on modern desktop/laptop
> hardware it really is not necessary.

> And, normal Windows OS DE provides "Startup" (shell:startup) program launch
> methods provide the "always running" support for any application if desired
> and LibreOffice does not need to provide (or maintain) one of our own.

> We could simply modify the installer/Tools -> Options "Load LibreOffice
> during system start-up" to drop a launcher there. We don't need all the
> overhead of Quickstart!
