Any exe that you run has full access to many places on your computer and can put files or read (more popular) from anywhere. Non-installing exe's are the most popular spyware, not saying the unicode exe is but definitely don't be naive about how the executables work. @DanD, just because it doesn’t have a built-in wizard doesn’t mean it’s not installing.

One funny side effect of one of the ways Windows handles Unicode is that if a plain text file which has only one line (no end-of-line) and has the pattern \w{4} \w{3} \w{3} \w{5} plus as many space-delimited five-character words as you like thereafter will be interpreted as Unicode, rendering gibberish. Some clever soul noticed that "Bush hid the facts" matches this pattern and created a political conspiracy urban legend with it. Interesting, thanks for the tip!
