And I'm on 98Se, but I think you mean either C:\windows\System;
C:\Windows\system32; or c:\Windows\Application Data. There's also a
C:\windows\Common Files, where a lot of dlls get dumped.
That's really a separate issue: the bits and pieces of apps that have
to be stored someplace else. It seems to have actually imporved
somewhat. In Win 3.1 days, most dlls got dumped in a subdir of
Windows; now many seem to stay in c:\program Files\thisprog\bin or
something.
