So Microsoft must be right, and I must be a gibbering looney. :)
Ciaran will at least vindicate my judgement on this much: Microsoft might have made
these things, but they're still wrong. Ciaran says it did not appear in OS's later
than W95, and he checked them. It does appear in W95 though, as well as W31. User.exe
should be ok if changed with a generic copy anyway, so maybe it doesn't matter. Anyway,
my point is that I was challenging an article that presumed to describe with certainty
how to anonymise your system. Doesn't matter if I was wrong. I looked for myself,
and found things that no-one ever told me before or since. And I shared what I found.
That is what counts.
If we want anonymity, at least we should all know not to trust Microsoft too much.
