Here's what you do.

Deinstall Diablo (control panel, add/remove programs), just remember to
save your character files.

Now, re-install from the CD.  That'll put you back to V1.0, and you can
cheat to your heart's content, in private.  You have a choice: cheat in
private, or play by the rules in public.  Believe it or not, but there
are honest people out here who welcome this.  Now I know that when I
meet folks, and trade with them on battle.net, I can be far more
confident that the stuff is legitimate.  Also, as long as I stay in
town, I'm not gonna get killed.

FWIW, Kevin Lambert's Diablo Backup still works, so I can keep my
character safe, which suits me just fine.  I can't *MODIFY* him, which
also suits me fine.  However I have a backup in case of catastrophe.

If you can't play without cheating, that's fine: there's no place for
you on battle.net in that case.  If you can't stand the heat, leave the
kitchen.  Just quit whining.
