Default Deleting Files

You can repair the files by running "welcome.exe" out of the windows folder.
Exactly how does Pocket Internet Explorer stop working? I tried it, and some things didn't seem to work, while others did.

For example, my MultiIE preset to Pocket Google (http://www.google.com/ie) seemed to stop working, but typing "www.google.com" into PIE worked fine.

AvantGo also seemed to fail.

We've established that these files are necessary for PIE, but I'm curious what they're for exactly. And why didn't Microsoft put these files in the Windows directory if they're required? Putting them in the device root seems stupid. It just makes people wonder why they're there. :-)
