      javaws -shortcut -uninstall removes shortcut as well as association

      Tested bundle : 6U5 B4 promoted build
      Tested OS : windows

      Steps to reproduce :
      1. install jre bundle
      2. launch the following appln : http://rohit.india.sun.com:8080/Javaws/Shammy/ShammyWithSplash.jnlp
      3. this appln will ask for desktop integration (Both shortcut and association)
      Allow to create them and application will be launched
      4. create a file with shammy as the extension (eg., test.shammy)
      5. double click test.shammy to launch javaws application
      The shammy application will be launched
      5. use the command "javaws -silent -shortcut -uninstall" to remove the shortcuts
      6. Now double click test.shammy to launch an application
      The application is not launched, the above command removed the association also.

      Note : Also "javaws -silent -association -uninstall" removes the application itself.

      Expected behavior :
      "javaws -silent -shortcut -uninstall" should not remove the association
      "javaws -silent -association -uninstall" should not remove the application
