There is a simple trick to find out if a standalone projector is really
100% standalone and doesn't reference any xtra or dll from the shockwave
installation: just temporary rename the system's shockwave folder before
starting the projector:
e.g. rename
"C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Shockwave 10" (or "Shockwave 8")
to
"C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\_Shockwave 10" (or "_Shockwave 8")

If the projector still works fine, it's indeed standalone.

The path above applies to Win XP. I think it's
"C:\Win2k\System32\Macromed\Shockwave 10" for Win2k and
"C:\Windows\System\Macromed\Shockwave 10" for Win98/ME
