I've had Pro installations where I got the shortcuts, and others where I didn't. All on OEM machines that were licensed automatically, all in the same location, and using the ISO from MS's website (maybe not always the same exact ISO so that may be it). I couldn't come up with a solid explanation on where the difference comes from.
