As long as you're not talking about having this stuff stored on the C-drive,
I don't care. Otherwise it (TB!) gets dumped from the first version that
insists on installing on that drive.
My C-drive is full of mostly unused (if not to say completely
useless) (alas not only)M$-spaceconsuming things I'd better not call by name.
But I guess that's not what you meant, and I really know too little about the
"technical" side to discuss the matter.
