Question about registration shortcut

I installed a new soundcard in my machine, and when I got done installing it offered me the option of registering, so I did. But the program still place a shortcut on my desktop, that is simply a registration shortcut. When I double-click on it, the registration forms opens again. I re-registered again, hoping the bloody thing would go away, but it's still there. If I manually delete it, what will happen? Will it leave some kind of junk behind somewhere on my machine? Or if I delete it, will all traces of it be gone(which I prefer).

When I see this when hardware is installed, I just delete the shortcut. Chances are that shortcut merely points to an executable within the software installation folder, but if it's simply a shortcut that opens a browser window, it will be of insignificant size.
