The Beaufort scale of cruft

Verity Stob develops a Beaufort scale of cruft: "Cruft Force 3. Lived-in. Description: One time in seven when the user starts Word or other Office 2000 app, instead of running, it pretends it is installing itself for the first time and starts a setup program. Directory count in C:\ up to 17, and something has pooed a Paradox lock control file there, too."  When I sent this round the office, you could hear the muttering as people fired up Explorer and started counting... and yes, she was right about the Paradox files, too.
