I don't think the documentation will help with this one.

If you try hard enough, I'm sure you can make all sorts of evil things
happen in Win95. If a Windows user wants an idiot-proof (just a phrase,
I'm not referring to you) OS he/she should be using WinNT. Note that I
said "Windows user", linux and NetBSD are fine alternatives for other
users.
