   I put them into an executable PKZIP file & emailed it to one of my yahoo    
   accounts.

   Occasionally I've installed a new Windows into a differently-named folder,   
   just to see what tries to install into C:\WINDOWS by forced default folder.   
   Ditto, I put the programs I've approved into C:\PROGRAMS, & don't create a   
   "C:\PROGRAM  FILES" for the same reason.  Caught lots of spyware & scamware   
   like that. . .   
      
   I'm just want to find a way to stop Microsoft from barging into my computer   
   any time it wants, & force-downgrading me to their latest version of their   
   spyware  system, still called "Windows."
