If you do a Major Upghrade the shortcut should get removed.
In a small or minor update however, the new version overwrites the old version. Now shortcuts are just files with a special .lnk extension. The name of the shortcut is the name of the .lnk file. So if oyu change the name, the new one will not overwrite the old one, since the file names are different. You could put the old .lnk file in the RemoveFiles table, or use a shortcut name that's version independent.
