in the following code, we can see how easy it is to change the path
to anywhere we want, including the all users start up folder.

All we need to do is cab compress (using Microsoft's "makecab" or Winace)
a file with a long name/path and change the path specified inside the file
to whatever we want Using any Hex editor such as HexWorkshop, just add
anything to the filename.
