Yes, it is a known issue that was "fixed" in Komodo 4.3 -- I believe, I 
may be wrong at that the fix was in the 4.4 alphas/betas.

Here the "fix" is to get it right from that point on rather than 
getting, say, the Komodo 4.4 installer/updater to go back and clean up 
old desktop shortcuts. We *could* (and should) fix Komodo's auto-update 
to clean up old shortcuts, quick launch links, Start Menu program group 
names and "Add/Remove Programs" meta data -- but haven't done that yet.

Regarding the install directory: the default install dir for 4.2 
includes the ".2". Komodo's auto-update for 4.3 and 4.4 cannot *change* 
the install directory after the fact.

To get everything very clean you could go to Start >  Settings > 
Add/Remove Programs and uninstall all versions of Komodo. Then install 
Komodo 4.4. After that the directory names, shortcuts, etc. should be 
correct for updates (*).

Sincerely,
Trent

(*) With the remaining exception that the version number in Add/Remove 
Programs is still not being updated.
