I (for one) do have some pretty good ideas of the answer -- but the
question isn't topical here, and in an effort at discouraging wildly
off-topic threads, I'm not going to answer here.

Given that it also relates (somewhat) to Windows, you might want to ask
someplace like comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32. It's open to _some_
argument whether it's completely topical there, but at least it's open
to argument, instead of obviously having nothing to do with the
newgroup's topic at all, as is the case here.
