I put them into an executable PKZIP file & emailed it to one of my yahoo 
accounts.

Occasionally I've installed a new Windows into a differently-named folder,
just to see what tries to install into C:\WINDOWS by forced default folder.
Ditto, I put the programs I've approved into C:\PROGRAMS, & don't create a
"C:\PROGRAM  FILES" for the same reason.  Caught lots of spyware & scamware
like that. . .

I'm just want to find a way to stop Microsoft from barging into my computer
any time it wants, & force-downgrading me to their latest version of their
spyware  system, still called "Windows."
