I'm surprised that anyone does. I've never had it
installed, but these days it's being phased out, anyway.

I also don't normally enable sound. I turn on the
speakers if I want to do something like watch a video.
Otherwise, I don't consider sound to be a relevant
part of using a computer. Sounds that accompany
message windows or Explorer actions are nonsense at
best to me. At worst they're jarring. I have all of
that disabled.
Example: Try saving this to Notepad, rename as
msg.vbs, and run it:

msgbox "Here's a nasty one!", 16, "Error message"


"Windows Scripting Host disabled on this machine"

(rough translation from Portuguese).

I get also error messages when I try to run .jar files.
Odd, huh ? I'm surprised I've never been hacked, what with all
the missing "essential" stuff.
