How do you control the installation of shortcuts on the desktop?

Jim
I want the users to have the ability to control the installation of shortcuts to an application on the desktop. While a shortcut to the desktop can either be assigned to the Users Desktop folder or not in the deployment project, how can you make this a choice at installation. I have tried controlling it through a 3 button dialog, but the installer is ignoring the choice
