The earlier versions of PB placed link.exe there.

Don't forget also that the smaller your exe, the more chance an anti-virus will flag it as malware.
A bigger exe can be a good thing.

Bwuh? Has this ever been verified? I actually incredibly doubt it, at least if it's just executable size. Unless you mean bloating the import table.

Well, this ended up being an interesting exchange...
Thanks to all who put in their 2 cents.

I can't cite anything about it, no. But I recall years ago it was a thing.
