With the standard installation being around 2000 megabytes, 10mb more
per user probably shouldn't be a problem. Adding links would be more
confusing to most users who don't know anything about links. Only a
large number of users on one computer could pose a problem and I was
wondering if there are actually people with more than 10 or so users
on one computer?
