Jarl:
I got the comment. I was trying my hand at humor....
Here is what happened:
Customer calls in complaining about a lack of hard drive space.
Tier one level help desk personnel tries to locate source of large amount of files.
Customer advises problem solved. They deleted a directory called "Windows"....
The same thing has happened with UNIX systems.
In any case, it is really hard to discover where all of those .dll/.so/.lib files come from unless you actually built the program (I work with OpenOffice.org and you should see the number of files it creates.)
And it is fun when you have one version of a file in one location but the version being used is in another.
