I have seen some horribly screwed up systems that had done this. If you look at
the resulting directory structure with a good file mgr. (*not* Win Explorer), you
will see a lot of leftover W95 stuff. The result is neither fish nor fowl, and,
Win being Win, the vast majority of users will have no clue what -- if anything --
can then safely be deleted, without doing even worse damage.
