My computer class teacher did the opposite

He claimed that you can delete all the big exe files, as they are not needed as just take up space

He'd love demonstrate it on the school computer, but it didn't boot right now, "for some reason"

He was not a good CS teacher

lmfao, I wonder if the school even check the teacher's background

I think he meant the installer files, not the actual .exe that launched the game, but who knows

yeah, I think he heard the shortcut thing somewhere and completely misunderstood it.

tbf, this is now 25 years ago, so computers were still quite a novelty in regular schools, let alone have teachers that know about them. I think he was just a math teacher before
