What happens if you take [drive]:\windows\system\hh.exe & copy it
over olbackup.exe? Hh.exe is Html Help that is 10k & does almost
nothing. It appears to do nothing when run by itself so maybe that's
close enough.
Just a shot in the dark & feel free to ignore it if you want.

How cool and how simple... but this is very strange. I can't imagine
what "MZP" is about [or why the poster thinks that that's what the OS is
looking for]:
C:\DOCUME~1\Bernie>type donothing.exe
FOO
C:\DOCUME~1\Bernie>donothing.exe
C:\DOCUME~1\Bernie>echo ABC>donothing.exe
C:\DOCUME~1\Bernie>donothing.exe
C:\DOCUME~1\Bernie>type donothing.exe
ABC
BUT: if I do
echo xyz>donothing.exe
and I try to execute it, I get a popup with:
command Prompt - donothing.exe
The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal isntruction
....
However, just
echo AA >donothing.exe
and
echo A >donothing.exe
Both work just fine.
trange... :o) But cute...
