fs2000.exe and fs2002.exe?

When I installed FS2004 I noticed that there were two weird files installed
in my main FS9 directory, "fs2002.exe" and "fs2002.exe". When I run them,
it simply starts FS2004. (I never installed any version of FS except 2004.)
Does anyone know what these files were meant to do?

Some of the add-ons from those versions are also compatible with FS2004
and need those files present to properly run. Everyone has them. They are
put there by the FS2004 installer.

Just guessing - but they may help shortcuts from prior versions to run.
