SetShellVarContext win98 inconsistency

I discovered a little inconsistency, not sure if it's a bug, or me doing someting wrong ;-)
I think it's only on win9x platforms.

I am using "SetShellVarContext all"

When I install shortcuts on the desktop, they go to
c:\windows\all users\destop

But when I remove them in my uninstaller, he tries to delete them from
c:\windows\desktop

Anybody has seen this behaviour before? Is there a workaround?

TIA

You must use SetShellVarContext again in the uninstaller. It only affects the current run. If that still doesn't work, take a look at:

Thank you very much!
The workaround displayed in that thread was a solution for my problem...
Seems like the issue is lost somewhere, as the last message in that thread dates from a year ago, and the issue is still not solved in the latest build...
Can this be reported/requested somewhere?

Greetings,
