Hal's suggestion is best.  It is always preferable to use your
own native files rather than "foriegn" files because you can't
be certain that the file is "pure" (remember that lots of
software vendors will cutomize DLL and VBX files to
work with their own product.  THREED.VBX is one
of the more infamous examples.)

BUT.... Hal's suggestion won't work for Windows 95.
It does not have a file checker.  So in that case,
Demetri should be able to click on the paper clip
and open/run  the exe file.
