A major problem with "hacks" like that, is that they are in "direct violation of the User's Agreement policy", and MS will either deep-six the hack with other updates, and / or they may resort to disabling of the user's OS, as per the license agreement... They have that "power" in Windows 10, and possibly in Win7 & 8, but I'm not sure. Probably depends on the "updates" that are installed. This is what we get with "Licensed Updates" aka "Subscription-based Software". Almost all the companies I used to purchase software from are doing this crap now, including, but not limited to: Microsoft, Adobe, Steven Slate, Waves, and others that I can't think of now. Absolutely disgusting. This is worse than the DRM garbage that prevents a "purchaser" of a DVD or BD from backing-up their original disk for archive purposes, but which also gets in the way of my "user-created content"... I better quit. I'm really disgusted with the "trend" of the digital world. They're even got this crap in refrigerators and clothes dryers... Yikes! - What? You mean my cell phone is spying on me ~too~?!?!?!!! Yes it is, even when you've turned it off... why else did they force you to upgrade to a minimum of 3G comm?...
