User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1

I always tell Mozilla Firefox Installer not to create any icons, not on the
Desktop, not in the Start Menu and neither in the Quick Launch area. Still, the
installer creates an empty folder called "Mozilla Firefox" in "Start Menu\Programs".
I must also note that I had this problem with past installations of Mozilla
Firefox and that this problem also appeard when I updated to Mozilla Firefox 1.0.1.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download Mozilla Firefox Installer (for example "Firefox Setup 1.0.1.exe").
2. Execute the installer.
3. Choose "Custom Setup".
4. Deselect all check boxes which tell the installer where to place Firefox icons.
5. Finish installing firefox.
Actual Results:  
An empty folder called "Mozilla Firefox" is created in the "Start Menu", "All
Programs" section.

Expected Results:  
No Start Menu folder should have been created.
