Compare and contrast to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shim_(computing) I didn't take the time to go hunt down the API to see exactly what it's called within the API. My bad. Consider that as an exercise for the reader. :-) Regards, Michael B. Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com -----Original Message----- From: Steven M.

Does it have another accepted meaning now? -sc -----Original Message----- From: Michael B.

Yes, it leaves a little piece of hanging code; but it avoids the reboot requirement. Regards, Michael B.

So that tool is out. I don't think you can remove a filesystem filter driver on Windows without rebooting. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- You are currently subscribed to ntsysadmin as: [email protected].
