This is not 100% correct. If you use Win9x/WinME, it is correct. All users have "root" privleges. If you use NT/Win2K/WinXP, you most certainly can easily connect to the Internet as a non-root-user, with no rights to install software. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael J.
