As I recall, MS doesn't consider any hacks that have physical access to the machine to be severe or critical. There were a couple hacks that would let you obtain machine Admin level access if you were logged on as any user. I think they were still there in Win 2000/XP. Not sure about Vista. They had been around since Windows 95. But you had to be physically sitting at the box as I recall (although I wonder about remote control software). Maybe it was "console" access or something like that. -Charlie _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
