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."
