I spent some time lastnight and this morning reviewing the code in
Program Manager and I think we'd be better off just removing the
stupid thing. In Windows XP SP2 and higher its just a stub that
invokes explorer so I think we would be better off removing it for 1.0
(as its totally broken anyway) and if by some chance in hell we find
some old application that depends on progman.exe being there, we can
write a stub like Microsoft did.
