It works by updating (and if necessary creating) the file "desktop.inf" which the system checks on a reboot. The purpose of installing an application is to record some information about the type of a program (so that you can use just one filename extenstion for all executables) and to make a link between a file and the program that handles those files so that you can have the program start up automatically by double clicking on the file icon. dgc
