Heh. Maybe *you* can. When it comes to lusers, I haven't had much luck with that. Especially for children or teenagers. But then, I've been working mainly in corporate IT for a number of years now. Maybe if it's a home luser who pays by the hour for fixing it's a different story. http://www.bynkii.com/archives/2009/01/for_new_sysadminsit_types.html -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
