NSS seems to be doing some stuff with "nsreg.dat". Not 100% sure what it is. But having a file in %WINDIR% is always really really bad... http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/security/nss/cmd/lib/filestub.c#914 20021107
I think the code in question is obsolete. We should be able to remove it. Bob, could you confirm this?

Priority: -- → P3
Target Milestone: --- → 3.7
filestub.c has not been part of the NSS build for a very long time. The whole file is dead code (not even compiled or built as part of an NSS release, yet along part of a mozilla release). Other files in this catagory: dongle.c fe_util.c filestub.c secarb.c sslstubs.c strerror.c stubs.c These have now been removed from the tip. I've also removed the obsolete "OLD_SRC' symbol from manifest.nm. This change is in the tip of NSS (NSS 3.7), and not in any mozilla branches. Since this is a clean-up only, and no file under security/nss/cmd is even compiled in mozilla, I'm going to go ahead and mark this as fixed.
