It's Automatic Updates. For some reason, I'm seeing this a lot on our laptops this month, but I don't know why. I've turned off AU, and it's notification that you may be at risk!, off. So, that's not a bug that's a feature! Sadly, yes. You can't say MS is without a sense of irony.

None of the hidden shares are open by default, unless you don't use a password or one that's pathetically easy to guess. Without reading the article, I'll assume that these are default shares they are referring to. You cannot disable them. Use a firewall, even Windows Firewall. That's the

IMHO Don't screw with RWs. You're right, the cost is prohibitive compared to use-once media. If you have 4.7G of data that needs to be rewritten a lot, use a flash drive. Or a usb2 drive. On 5/16/07, Steve Rigby [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How come a consumer cannot seem to be able to buy

I also gave up on HP long ago. Among other problems, buying cartridges was painful. I thought an Epson I got was a step in the right direction, but as others have said, it became fussy after a year or so, and would spend a few minutes cleaning before it would do anything. I've had a Canon Pixma

How come a consumer cannot seem to be able to buy just a couple of DVD-RWs? Why do I have to buy a 10-pack? Who needs 10 rewritables? Is this the Costcoization of the marketplace? Everything like this in bulk? We have a DVD recorder that's connected to our satellite receiver, and to a VCR.

I don't know the answer to your question -- it seems today that only a few DVD-RWs are needed. I've almost quit using them. But, several years ago the DVD write once was very expensive, and the success rate of writing to them was not too good. I adopted the practice of always writing to a
