never I guess...

Ok, so I've run the UnrealTournament Demo (a challenge on this portable :),
and it seems the same registry keys ARE being querried. So I guess that
it's a windows API 'feature' indeed (UT is even worse as it seems to querry
about 80 of this type of keys every couple of seconds).

Case closed, not a VNC ackwardness, just ordinary Windows behavior :/

As it seems. 
But for instance ICQ (which I believe to be listening for incomming msgs,
chat requests, file transfers, etc.. ) doesn't show up on the list... Hmm,
my confusing hasn't been resolved, just moved from one subject to another
I'm afraid :)

Still have to try the login thing to find out about the INDEX.DAT scanning
thing...
