    d. displaying an icon associated with the disguised application on the host operating system; and

    e. removing the disguised application from the host operating system without affecting the installation of the stripped application in the guest operating system, wherein said removal includes removing from the host operating system both of the data file of file type supported by the guest application and the data file of file type supported by the host application.
