It seems to be the way to go. Of course whitelisting an application that has a vulnerability puts us back in the same boat.
There are still a number of apps (mainly legacy) around that need change permissions on their folder (and a few that need certain reg keys as well). Considering how many installs of XP are out there it isn’t the end of the world. You’ve made the best choice with the options available, I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it.

I seriously want to work on application whitelisting - don't know if I'll get the chance. On Tue, Feb 21, 2012 at 18:32, James Hill <[email protected]> wrote: You’ve taken the best approach imo. No apps need to run as admin and you haven’t had to fiddle with any Outlook security settings.

OTOH, if you have specific knowledge, that would be a big bonus - but I really don't expect it. Epicor products aren't that widely used, I'll bet Kurt On Tue, Feb 21, 2012 at 09:00, Michael B.
