Yes, I've read that. What goes still unanswered is if that's the only
place Windows ever looks for those files. I guess yes, but I can't find
no positive confirmation.

I'm sure they think that and there's probably a PowerPoint with lots of
bullet points that says so. But I've yet to meet anyone who thinks it
was a bright idea after running into it unexpectedly. If anything, MS
themselves couldn't make it work without those exceptions whose
documentation is not easy to find.

Achim.
