Even for Windows 1.0, I can see ways to cut this thing down to size. The point though is that this is what MSFT actually included in the SDK, and I remember reading about in "Programming Windows" and other sources.
It just took me a few years (or maybe decades) from reading about it to actually try it.
The question was serious; the repercussions, severe; the message, received.

Very nice, grace under pressure. Upvoted, along with the original question.
Thanks!
