Comment:

 I believe the guidance is outdated and doesn't change anything at all.
 This guidance also predates UAC, which would prevent a non-admin user from
 writing to the current directory anyway. If the user has admin rights than
 very little can be done to stop interference. There are numerous other
 ways to accomplish the same thing without any extra effort.

 I don't think this change is worth the engineering effort.
