Good point.  I'm not sure of the answer.  I know Vista explicitly
checks for certain exe names, such as setup.exe etc. and prompts the
user.  Maybe it's worth looking into this???

Personally I'm not sure it's a good idea to check for new versions
automatically (if it ain't broke don't fix it).  But then again we
have DOS versions of our app still running that nobody really knows
how to support...  Well, there is one guy but he's sailing around the
Mediterranean on his yacht and doesn't look like he's coming back -
must be a real bitch sailing around living on pennies while the rent
on your flat in (an expensive part of) London pays for everything!
