For VC++ builds (https://avidemux.org/nightly/vsWin64/) or ZIP-packaged MinGW builds (https://avidemux.org/nightly/win64/) of Avidemux: manually the same way as for MS Office as described by Microsoft here (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-a-desktop-shortcut-for-an-office-program-or-file-9a8df64b-cd87-4700-95cc-4bc3e2a962da).

NSIS-packaged MinGW builds of Avidemux are capable of creating a shortcut on desktop for all users on their own.
