I had tried it out.... I would have done it more extensively if it were not running off a virtual PC.

I made my short little list of things that stood out to me:

(I would just paste it, but, this is an opportunity to get, like, one more visitor who isnt a spam bot!)

Run pbrush in command, its the same program  : P

Run pbrush in command, its the same program  : P

pbrush works, but it just runs mspaint.exe; there is no pbrush.exe anymore

pbrush works simply because of the entry in the ubiquitous App paths key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\pbrush.exe

which makes it an alias for MSPAINT.EXE


basically, I wasn't clear as to what I meant.. you can run pbrush, and I do believe that it's OLE and DDE server names are still PBRUSH, but there is no executable called PBRUSH anymore.
