Winstub is a skeleton Windows application designed to do nothing. It acts as a placeholder, satisfying software that must launch an external program, even when one is not needed.

Developer’s Description

By Paul Battley
Get a skeleton Windows application which helps other applications to run.
Occasionally applications demand an application to run. Canon's scanning toolbox is an example, even when you don't want to run anything. Winstub is a skeleton Windows application that does absolutely nothing, which is more useful than it sounds.
