From: "Frank Haber" 

Notepad's probably a bad example.  Remember when I asked whether Notepad
for NT4/5 still had the 32k file limit?  I was ignorant, but I keep finding
back-version Notepads *in the path* on newer computers, and a half-dozen
third party replacements, renamed NOTEPAD.EXE.

Nothing nefarious; just the last tech doing some personalization, I guess.

Many intelligent owners also manually replaced their FDISK and DEFRAG under
Win 9x, for very good reasons.  You can't depend on nuttin'.
