Description

### Solution to issue cannot be found in the documentation.

- [X] I checked the documentation.

### Issue

I've recently installed mambaforge in parallel with miniforge ([while trying, so far in vain, to get mamba working](https://github.com/mamba-org/mamba/issues/2197)).

After installing mambaforge "Just for me", it took me ages to try to figure out how to start the mambaforge prompt as it's installed on the start menu as "Miniforge prompt". Given that I had a separate ("All Users") install of miniforge so that I could keep pythoning with conda while sorting out the issues with mamba, I assumed this shortcut was for miniforge, not mambaforge.

Any chance the installer could install the shortcut as "Mambaforge prompt" if you've installed mambaforge?
