In order to create shortcuts, and program groups, one or more items must be marked as PM items.

Yes, but it involves running the Setup Wizard setup with specific command line switches - once you've created the install, run SETUP /HELP from the directory containing the install image - it will list the command line switches available to you to control this. This generally means creating a shortcut to fire the setup with the switch in place rather than clicking on Setup.EXE

You could also hack the SETUP.STF file to eliminate the option, but you're on your own here; while I have an idea how to do it, it's undocumented and unsupported, and would have to be redone by hand every time you rebuilt the distribution disks, and adding a shortcut with a command line switch is lots safer and easier.
