Why is OOSU10 doing this?

Recently, I updated OOSU10, or I think I did. I was instructed to download the update to the same location where I already had OOSU. I did, which is my Desktop, but afterwards rather than a single OOSU10 icon there were two. I thought that strange and ought not to have happened. I deleted the older icon hoping, perhaps naïvely, that was the right thing to do. Twice since updating I have run OOSU10. On both occasions it has created a file on my Desktop with a sort of blank white icon* and the file type was .cfg. On both occasions I have deleted the .cfg files. Today I googled what they were and discovered they're used to store settings so I may have been unwise to delete them.

Can anyone please explain why OOSU10 is creating these .cfg files? It has never previously done so. If it's settings that need to be retained should I move OOSU10 elsewhere? I don't want my Desktop littered with .cfg files.

*I attach a screen shot of the icon.

Hi, I do not have a issue with O&O ShutUp10.

I save it to a Folder so that the .cfg stays with the .exe file.  When download I have it setup to always ask me and so Save in the Folder then it asks do you want to Replace the Existing File and Click Yes.

As for a notification mine has never said since 2015 when it came out.   As well I go to the site since no notifications and check for a Update and only Update when on the above page shows a newer version and then only run it.   This is not very often so not sure why your getting updates.  Only get the program from the above URL.

Suggest change to  making a Folder for it if you have not.   As well it is also how you have set up downloads that are a issue as well.
