Microsoft has stated that the Registration Wizard has to be run by a user,
and the user has to "authorize" (via a dialog box) sending the info.
According to them, the Registration Wizard is simply supposed to
replace the paper-based resgistration card.

But the registration card only asks for the type of applications that
you run.  The registration wizard sends a complete directory listing
and you only get the choice of either using the registration wizard or
not, not what specific information it is sending.  It doesn't even
inform the user that is will be sending a directory listing to
Micro$oft.
