Actually, there is a certain warped logic to that ... as you know, many
virii masquerade as screen savers.  So some suit makes an executive decision
"There will be no screensavers".  But said suit thinks a registry is only
for getting married so there's no such prohibition for that.

So, the IT folk, being sympathetic but also wanting to keep their jobs,
leave the obvious back door open; hoping that anyone sophisticated enough to
use it is also NOT going to let their computers be infected by such an
obvious method.
