Installation Details
--------------------
When you run the program instsjpg.exe, it will do the following;

1)  Give you the opportunity to specify a directory for the installation.
    The default is C:\SuperJPG

2)  Allow you to choose whether you want a Start menu, and/or Desktop 
    Shortcuts installed.

3)  When you press "Install", it will create the specified directory,
    and create the files listed above in that directory.

4)  Entries will be made in the system registry that will allow automatic
    removal of SuperJPG, and maintain the users preferences.

5)  ABSOLUTELY NO DLLs will be created, modified, removed, installed, 
    or otherwise affected.

6)  When you run SuperJPG, it will create files named "superjpg.tnc" in
    each directory that you visit which contains image files.  These 
    thumbnail cache files are discussed in detail in the help system.
    The creation of these files can be disabled if you so desire, 
    but doing so will slow down SuperJPGs thumbnail loading performance. 
    These files can be deleted at any time, without any impact other than
    slowing down SuperJPGs thumbnail loading.
