============================

Dud is a program that does absolutely nothing. Run it and it will
immediately unload. It can be used as a replacement for annoying system
files, such as helpctr.exe or stobject.dll. Simply replace the file with
dud.exe, and you'll never see the offending app again.

The zipped package is 1kb. Dud.exe itself is merely 3kb, using 60kb of
memory.

============================

Why would I want this? :-)

As the description says: to replace annoying system files. Let's say
you keep removing an app from startup, but it keeps "coming back".
Just replace the file with this one, and the annoying app is effectively
gone, even though it still tries to run at startup.
