Yep, I was going to suggest the same thing. But it's truly crazy that an OS is so horribly designed as to even put this kind of crap in there in the first place. More and more, I'm recommending all my clients NEVER follow the "MS recommended settings". One thing that has saved many many hours of frustrations for me and a bunch of other companies is to never install applications under the "Program Files" tree any more. At the corp level, decide on a new main branch (e.g. "progs" or "applications" or "enterprise_apps") and put things there. If you do that, you can actually assign permissions the way YOU want them. Had a wonderful (NOT) fight with a couple windows 7 computers over Christmas trying to help friends get them networked to older machines. The only good thing was by the time I got them working, the friends were cussing at MS almost as much as I was. I think eyes are starting to open a bit.... if you relearn everything every time a new Windows version comes out, why not just learn something that is more reliable and less likely to screw you over (aka Linux). -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.
