Sometimes it will make a big trouble about "/REBOOTOK" under Win9x.
If someone want to update some system files under Win9x, he must use "/REBOOTOK" to do it.
And "/REBOOTOK" under Win9x is finally using Wininit.ini to do it.
We known Wininit.exe moving files useing a "rename" function under "DOS".
"Rename" under DOS have a big limit: SOURCE Filename and TARGET Filename must on the same disk.

OK, now think about this situation:
If someone put some new system_files outside C: with "/REBOOTOK" function, it will make NSIS to add someline like this into wininit.ini:
"c:\windows\system\target=d:\dir\source"
Arter reboot, wininit.exe will make a error message, and DELETE TARGET FIle immediately.
If that file is a Very Important file (ex: GDI.EXE), this will make Win9x DEAD.
Could NSIS TEAM add some check inside MAKENSIS to prevent this situation happen? Thank you very much.
