Yeah, just the "SysInfo About SysInfo" which, as I mentioned, doesn't do anything.

Now my question is, "Where did the other one come from?" I haven't had anything prior to VS 6.0 installed on this machine that would use the control. Obvious, from the properties dialog it was some sort of test version. Also, it is from MS. So I'm left with three "Ws": What, Why, and When.
