True...but right now the vector they are using is WMF so it mitgates
that one.

Risk analysis and for right now ...that's the steps I took for my
office.  [I'm thinking about DEP enabling everyone as I'm seeing no
impact here and I'm the only one running Irfanview

Now whether I do more tomorrow.... ask me tomorrow  :-)  I'm still not
ready to unregister dll's..... yet....

{Cool thing about SBSland is the Change Management department around
here is really agreeable with whatever I decide to do}
