From a user perspective, why can't someone run Solitaire.exe off a
USB? (as a plain example) Consider exploits, such as BOFs caused by bad file formats, how do you know which is secure or not? The main difference between a BOF and this issue is that it is a software fault, whereas the hijack "issue" is nothing less than an impractical nitpick.
