From the publisher:
" * under Windows95/98: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VMLDR
* under WindowsNT: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\\Session Manager
Installation:
When distribution file is launched:
1. kills existing Dick server
2. extracts the following files into system directory:
under Windows95/98:
oleproc.exe
pnpmgr.pci
vmldr.vxd
under WindowsNT:
oleproc.exe
pmss.exe
bootexec.exe
3. modifies registry
under Windows95/98:
creates VMLDR subkey in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD;
creates necessary values in that subkey to load vmldr.vxd when
the system starts up;
under WindowsNT:
adds string "bootexec.exe" to the BootExecute value in the subkey
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\\Session Manager
4. creates PData0 and PData1 parameters with values
'D',0,'0','x','9','0','1','5' and
'D',0','2','3','4','7','7'
5. extracts plugins:
jpegcomp.dll (full version only)
6. spawns oleproc.exe
Loading:
1. Dick loader is launched by windows:
NT:
bootexec.exe, at the blue screen time
loader creates the service to be launched later;
the executable file of the service is oleproc.exe
95/98:
vmldr.vxd, init order is SHELL_INIT_ORDER+10
loader calls Win32 ShellExecute service to spawn oleproc.exe;
this VxD also may be loaded dynamically to perform thread management
functions
2. oleproc.exe (launched by loader, installer or manually) kills
existing Dick server, copies itself to:
under WindowsNT:
pmss.exe
under Windows95/98:
pnpmgr.pci
and launches it;
this is done to keep executable file closed to allow upgrades;
during upgrade oleproc.exe is replaced by the new file and that file
is launched immediately
3. pmss.exe under WindowsNT:
stops oleproc.exe service and removes it (unfortunately, you may see
this service for a short time if you quickly log on and open 'services'
applet in the control panel)
pnpmgr.pci under Windows95/98:
hides itself
at the end of this process pmss.exe or pnpmgr.pci is the Donald Dick server"
Donald Dick properties: • Allows remote user connection • Hides from the user • Stays resident in background
