How do you know?  Have you checked the sources?  It's completely 
irrelevant whether it's the Registration Wizard or any other component
of Win 95 or MSN who does the job.

And, BTW, this isn't something new.  I've read in comp.sys.dec a story
about the installation procedure of a certain DEC product which silently
sent an email message to a dec.com address whenever somebody installed
the product.  DEC apologized and explained that the code was a leftover
from the internal test version, where it was used to keep track on whom
within DEC was testing the product.  They forgot (add quotes if you like :-)
to remove the code from the production version.
