~:> Its mich like the LD_PRELOAD facilities in Unix systems

But this sounds like the `only' windows way to do such things. Ever
noticed that whenever you copy plain binary from one windows machine to
another, it starts complaining that you've got freaky library, without
which it could not run. Ever noticed that when you install M$ Office your
system *.dll sizes/dates are changed and it asks you to reboot before you
can run that stuff? THIS IS the microsoft way of doing things. *pheeew*

~:I can't tell you how many times I've been burned (in a support role, not as

Same goes to the whole OS itself with its megabytes sized kernel registry,
GUI built into kernel, and tons of `user-friendly' switches which let user
to plant troyan into his computer by a single mouse click.
