I have created "Make UTF-8 mode more accessible for Windows users." thread.
https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/thread/LQVK2UKPSOI2AHYFUWK6ZII2U6QKK6BP/

I proposed per-site (e.g. install site and venv) configuration file but many core devs don't like the idea because PYTHONUTF8 envvar would be enough for many users. For example:

https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/BDOV2F3LDSC2YDUR4LCPNHZFJWEZNX5U/

So I want to add "Enable UTF-8 mode" shortcut to start menu. It executes just `cmd.exe /c "SETX PYTHONUTF8 1"`.

But I am not familar with Wix. How can I add the shortcut? May I add it in Toos/msi/exe/exe.wxs ?
