When turned on, it would redirect all access to C:\ to an uncommitted partition. Rebooting would NOT reset the system. Resetting to original status would only occur when SCT was turned off. That's important: when installing trial software, often you need to reboot to enable it's functioning. If all above proggies return to original status after reboot, they are useless.
